technology international When I hear the phrase “More Than Robots,” I start thinking about all the ways that FIRST is “more.” engineering assist More accessibility Regardless of social or economic circumstances, we offer learning and discovery opportunities to youth everywhere, with a special emphasis to include girls and youth from diverse backgrounds.

More connections FIRST participants, young and old alike, build friendships, as well as social and professional networks, that enhance their lives now and provide life-changing influences and direction into the future.

More growth Despite our significant reach, our quest is to provide even more opportunities to become involved in FIRST as a student, Mentor, Sponsor, or Volunteer. Expanding access to our programs in every way possible is our top priority.

More preparedness Today’s students need sophisticated education that includes more than just codified knowledge. They need 21st century workforce skills. We’re proud to be a leader in developing collaborative creative competence in our young people, giving them a better chance for a productive and successful future.

FIRST touches more people in more ways than any other program I know — kids, who find a safe, fun place where they can develop and belong; students, whose lives are changed because they discovered new opportunities; Mentors, whose lives are enriched by working with engaged youth; grateful parents, whose children earn college scholarship support.

PHOTO In 2015, we had many more milestones to celebrate, among them the formation of new Strategic Alliances with the American Society for Engineering Education, The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, and the National Center for Women & Information Technology. Our FIRST Scholarships program grew to over $22 million in awards made available by nearly 200 Scholarship Providers in the U.S., Australia, Canada, and Mexico. We’ve launched an initiative that will further embed inclusion within the FIRST organization and community and improve the diversity of program participants.

In addition, we continue to learn more about the impact of our programs on participants. Findings from the second year of a longitudinal study conducted by Brandeis University* show that FIRST has positive impacts on team members’ interest, knowledge, and identity in STEM, as well as their interest in STEM careers. While both boys and girls benefit from participation in FIRST, the positive impact on STEM outcomes is even greater for girls. These results support our belief that FIRST is playing a critical role in Donald E. Bossi, President inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers.

I gratefully thank everyone who has given their time, talent, resources, and support to help us reach even more deserving kids than we ever thought possible. I challenge us all to recommit our efforts to reach out to the millions more who have yet to experience the FIRST opportunity. * Full report: www.firstinspires.org/about/impact

He is an Sport for the Mind inspiration to all. The answer to “What’s FIRST?”

Currently a Cadet 1st Class at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Yohance had it tougher than so many 14% other kids in South LA’s Crenshaw High School. “My father had a lots and lots of kids, and he had health issues and my mother had mental health issues, so my brother and I became homeless.” 50 U.S. States / That’s when Tim and teacher, Urban Reyes, 80+ Countries Growth in number of FIRST invited Yohance to join their FIRST Robotics teams over 2014 A growing global phenomenon Competition team. “Tim even offered me a place to stay at night and food when I was hungry.”

® Yohance excelled on the team, becoming Coopertition Captain. Tim offered him an internship at “Competing teams help and $22 million+ cooperate with each other” Aerospace Corporation where he worked. Scholarship funds available (a FIRST core value) Yohance embraced the opportunity, using his earnings to pull his family out of a homeless shelter and onto their feet. Gracious Professionalism® “Respect for others, being a good sport, sharing what you’ve learned” (another FIRST core value)
