 FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a non-profit organization founded by Dean Kamen. He set out to enrich the lives of countless students by opening their eyes to new opportunities in the fields of science and technology. The teams are given a six week time limit each year to complete construction of a robot that can accomplish certain tasks at competitions. The competitions teach good sportmanship (or "Gracious Professionalism") as well as the reward of winning for those who proved themselves to be the best. By showing students what they can achieve, their confidence grows, as well as their appreciation for science, mathematics, and technology. To learn more, click here.

 As an official FIRST team, our goal is to teach the community of Plainedge about science and technology. We accomplish this in various ways, including holding assemblies and lectures in our schools about engineering and technology as well as visiting our middle and elementary schools to start the interest in technology at a young age.
