“Dubbed a varsity Sport for the Mind,™ FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology.
Under strict rules, limited resources and time constraints, teams of high school students raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, build and program a robot to compete. It’s as close to “real world” engineering as a student can get.
Each year this multinational competition reaches nearly 100,000 students in competitions held across the world. As an international innovation hub, San Francisco is a natural home for FRC and host of the 2023 FIRST San Francisco Regional.”
