OUR MISSION

The mission of FIRST North Carolina is to inspire the next generation of engineers, computer scientists and STEM leaders. Our goal is to strengthen the school to STEM career connection by implementing the FIRST progression of programs in every school and school district, kindergarten through grade 12.

FIRST North Carolina wants students to thrive in a high tech world with an unbridled passion for skilled trades, engineering, computer science, and corporate problem-solving.  FIRST's hands-on approach enables students to "test drive" these areas to see where their interests and aptitudes fit.

14,000+ students participate in a FIRST program in North Carolina

2,600+ mentors and teachers work with FIRST students across the state

2,000+ volunteers help make the magic of over 30 events happen

67 NC counties participate in at least one FIRST program
