FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a
multinational non-profit organization, that aspires to transform culture,
making science, math, engineering, and technology as cool for kids as
sports are today.
FIRST was founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway
Human Transporter (shown in lower left corner). Dr. Woody Flowers
(shown in the upper right) is the co-founder and vice-chairman of FIRST.
FIRST operates the FIRST Robotics Competition in which teams of high
school students, sponsored and assisted by local companies and volun-
teers, design, assemble, and test a robot capable of performing a speci-
fied task in competition with other teams. FIRST also runs the FIRST
LEGO League, for children 9-14 years old, and FIRST Place, an innovative science and technology center,
including a hands-on children's science museum.
