We continue to be amazed by the “life engineering” stories that filter through FIRST on a daily basis and are shared throughout this document.

These are the stories of kids who shied away from science and math; who found it nothing but drudgery, and then ended up going to college for an engineering degree with scholarships provided by our Sponsors. These are the stories of extraordinary adults looking for a meaningful way to give something back who are suddenly running regional FIRST events for thousands of kids. These are the stories of Sponsors who became involved a Dean Kamen decade ago and now employ the bright young people who came through their local FIRST program.

Walter P. Havenstein What’s extremely gratifying is that FIRST, more than any other youth-oriented program, truly does help “engineer young futures,” and, in a bigger way, a better future for us all. The concepts, creative problem-solving skills, teamwork, and collaboration that FIRST participants learn early on are the crucial “life engineering tools” they’ll carry with them into college, exciting careers in innovation, and life in general.

We marvel at the fact that while the importance of STEM education is only now being recognized as a national priority, FIRST has been championing that very idea since 1989. We feel extremely fortunate to be representing FIRST when we listen to world leaders talk about how the future belongs to the innovators, and how the U.S., in turn, needs to adjust its attitudes about STEM in our schools. We still hope and work for the day when FIRST programs are available for everyone who dreams of developing the next generation of technological wonders and advances. What better way to help create the innovators of tomorrow than by exposing our youth to the wonders of science and technology and helping them nurture a love for exploration and discovery, as the FIRST family of four “building block” robotics programs so aptly accomplishes?

On behalf of the FIRST board of directors and staff, we offer our sincere and humble thanks to the tens of thousands of Volunteers, Sponsors, Mentors, Coaches, teachers, parents, friends, and fans that make FIRST run and help it continue to grow. Your unheralded contributions of time, talent, and resources are truly inspirational. We very much look forward to our shared future together.
