2014 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

years BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS Twenty-five years have passed since visionary inventor Dean Kamen launched his most inspired creation to date — FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity whose mission is to help develop our young people into tomorrow’s science and technology leaders and innovators. Through a progression of fun, engaging, STEM-building robotics and research programs, FIRST kids, ages 6 to 18, learn about team building and mutual respect, gain self-confidence, and develop important leadership and life skills.

Dean’s vision, still unchanged after a quarter century, is to create a culture where scientists, engineers, and technologists are celebrated and revered on the same level as athletes and celebrities. FIRST is cleverly designed to open the doors of imagination so that kids will be inspired to seek education and careers in these fields.

What was, in the beginning, expected to be a long, uphill battle for positive cultural change has today become a model for success. FIRST is celebrated in the media, respected by government leaders, considered a valuable asset on scholarship applications and employee resumes, and embraced by a growing army of young people worldwide seeking knowledge, self-discovery, personal growth, and life-changing experiences. It’s leading the way in making science and engineering “cool.” Is this success more than we expected? You bet — and the best is yet to come.

I The ball of cultural change is rolling. Can you help us push?

ULTIMATE 89.6% of FIRST Alumni are in FLL® = FIRST® LEGO® League IMPACT a STEM field (student or professional) FTC® = FIRST® Tech Challenge 4 FRC® = FIRST® Robotics Competition 5 This year, we proudly celebrated our first quarter century of inspiring FOUNDER’S & CO-CHAIRS’ LETTER young people to take up the important cause of advancing humankind’s achievements in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Over the past 25 years, thanks to the generosity of hundreds of thousands of adult Volunteers, Mentors, and Sponsors, inquisitive kids around the world have been exposed to the wonders, fun, and excitement of taking on a difficult challenge and solving it through teamwork, learning, hard work, and perseverance. Little did we envision at our founding what a monumental impact FIRST would have on so many.

At this juncture, we’re happy to report that we’ve far exceeded all of our early expectations. With the help and backing of so many, FIRST has grown from 28 U.S.- based teams in the initial competition season to more than 34,000 teams today in over 80 countries, involving more than 360,000 kids, and over 150,000 adult Volunteers. Each year, we continue to expand at an astounding rate, with no end in sight. Evaluation data tells us that almost 90 percent of FIRST Alumni are now studying for or working in STEM careers*, and female FIRST participants are four times more likely to study STEM subjects due to participation†. That’s impact with a capital “I.”

With science and technology, and those who advance it, earning a new-found respect and admiration in the minds of kids everywhere, we’ve come a long way toward our goal of influencing major cultural change. Yet our mission is far from accomplished. The next generations of inspired scientists and engineers that FIRST can help produce need your help today. We urge you to volunteer locally, become a Mentor, raise funds, sponsor a team, or commit your company’s or organization’s time, people, and resources. It takes all of us, working together, to propel FIRST into our next quarter century of inspiration. If students dare to dream big, then we are compelled to open doors for them.

There are many who deserve our heartfelt gratitude for helping us achieve our Silver Anniversary. We salute our Founding Sponsors and Strategic Partners, and all of our Sponsors, Mentors, and Volunteers who give freely of their experience, knowledge, time, and resources. Parents and teachers, as well as school and program administrators, also earn our thanks. You inspire us, one and all!

The work has already begun that will lead us to our Golden Anniversary 25 years hence. We recommit ourselves to the goal of achieving cultural change by doing all we can to make FIRST programs available to every child who expresses curiosity about how things work and addresses DEAN KAMEN BOB TUTTLE SHERI MCCOY challenges with a simple question: “Why not?” Founder Co-Chair, Board of Directors Co-Chair, Board of Directors *Source: FIRST, 2011 Survey of FRC, FTC Alumni

†Source: Brandeis University “More Than Robots” Evaluation 6 7 Last year, I talked about being a FIRST rookie and shared my admiration for the powerful, PRESIDENT’S LETTER innovative, and inspiring contributions and accomplishments of all FIRST participants, young and old. My expectations were high. In one short year, the many things I witnessed and experienced first-hand have turned me into a seasoned veteran who now has an enhanced passion for our mission. I’ve had the opportunity to travel far and wide, reaching out to new Sponsors, Donors, and Volunteers. Wherever I go, the reaction has been the same: “We get it, and we’re behind you.” I’m very proud to be associated with an organization that consistently out-performs my expectations.

As we celebrate our Silver Anniversary, FIRST continues to gain awareness among kids as well as business, industry, and government leaders.

s In November, 2013, five award-winning FIRST® Robotics Competition teams had the distinct honor of opening the nationally televised Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® in New York City, cutting the official ribbon and shooting confetti along the parade route.

l In December, 2013, all four FIRST programs were invited to exhibit at the 2013 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge in Florida, where university teams demonstrated their prototype robots’ ability to perform disaster-response skills. Our huge exhibit attracted large numbers of potential Mentors, Volunteers, Sponsors, and student participants.

n At the 2014 FIRST Championship in St. Louis, President Obama gave a special “shout out” (via video) to our 25th Anniversary year and urged more students, adults, and corporations to get involved in our mission.

s In May, 2014, 12 FIRST team members were celebrated at the White House Science Fair for their outstanding STEM work, including the winner of the 2013 FIRST Future Innovator Award, sponsored by the Abbott Fund, for a Cycle-Leg invention, an inexpensive prosthesis made from a single recycled bicycle.

I’m confident that FIRST will continue to be highly impactful, and this productivity will propel us toward future milestone anniversaries. In the immediate future and for years to come, we expect that FIRST will be adopted and celebrated by schools and communities around the globe, and that tomorrow’s problem-solving workforce will be made up of countless FIRST Alumni. For that, we’ll need a steady influx of new Volunteers, Mentors, Sponsors, communicators, gift-givers, and visionaries. Will you or your company be among them? DON BOSSI President I salute everyone involved in our 25 years of developing tomorrow’s young science and engineering leaders and innovators and helping secure a better future for us all.
