What is FIRST?● For● Inspiration and● Recognition of● Science and ● Technology

A national organization with a mission to:

"..inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership."

FIRST lives for STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

There are four levels of robot competition in FIRST...

● Junior FIRST Lego League (6-9 years old)● FIRST Lego League (9-14 years old)● FIRST Tech Challenge (14-18 years old)● FIRST Robotics Competition (14-18 years

old)

Junior FIRST Lego League

Also known as Jr. FLL● 6-9 years old● Use Mindstorm kit● Brain- NXT brick● Beginner programming- drag and drop ● Researching a real world problem- central

theme● Core Values

FIRST Lego LeagueAlso known as FLL● 9-14 years old● Same set-up as Jr. FLL

● We are a team.

● We do the work. Our coaches and

mentors help us learn, but we find the

answers ourselves.

● We share our experiences and

discoveries with others.

● We are helpful, kind, and show respect

when we work, play, and share. We call

this Gracious Professionalism.

● We are all winners.

● We have fun!

Core Values

High School Robotics

FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) or FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC)

FRC:● 120 pound robots● Java programming● Game● No central theme● Emphasis on grasp of FIRST ideals and engineering

concepts

What is FIRST Tech Challenge(FTC)?

Build an 18" x 18" x 18" robot primarily using:

NXT Brick and programming

Raw Materials

You can design, build, and present your very own robot using your skills in:

● Science● Mathematics● Problem solving● Teamwork● Friendly competition● and many more...

Your robot may look like this...

or this...

or this...

It will be what you envision it to be.

Camp Schedule

Day 1: Intro to kit and roboticsDay 2: Build the robot (finish chassis)Day 3: Finish building the robot Day 4: Programming and start CAD**think about what you want your robot to do!Day 5: Finish CAD and present
