What is FIRST?
For Inspiration of Science and Technology (FIRST®) is an organization that runs several levels of worldwide robotics competitions. We compete in the middle level, FIRST® Tech Challenge, in which we build small metal robots and compete in a yearly changing competition. FIRST® Tech Challenge teams do compete against other teams, but instead of trying to destroy other team's robots, they try to score points in an objective, productive, challenge.
The motto of FIRST® is Gracious Professionalism. This means that while competing hard on the field, teams must maintain good sportsmanship, and respect other teams and their members. The real objective of FIRST® is not winning the competitions, but helping students grow. We think this goal aligns nicely with the mission of Helias Catholic High School.
