The FIRST (For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) Robotics Competition is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way. The program is a life-changing, career-molding experience-and a lot of fun. In 2006, there were over 28,000 students on 1,133 teams in 33 events in the US, Canada, and Israel.
Last year, Boston's second annual FIRST regional event featured over 40 high school teams, mostly from Massachusetts, but others from out of state and even Brazil!
This year's 2008 event promises to be bigger and better!
Unique, high-tech, sophisticated robots (& their student developers) will compete in a highly energized, rock concert atmosphere, surrounded by hundreds of volunteers, amazing people, and gracious corporate sponsors.
Come cheer them on and get involved!
