My child is interested in robotics, but their school does not have a FIRST Robotics program. What should I do?

Talk directly to the school Principal. He or she is one that can make things happen. Some teams are also formed from community organizations (such as the Girl Scouts) or home schools. These organizations, as well as some school teams, might just be willing to accept outsiders.

How will FIRST help my child after high school?

FIRST opens up many opportunities for students after high school. Dozens of colleges offer scholarships for students who have participated on a FIRST Robotics team. Sometimes, these can lead to mentorship and career opportunities as well!

How can I help a FIRST Robotics Team?

Parent involvement is always encouraged. Ask the team advisor if they need assistance in thing such as food, planning, chaperoning, transportation, etc.

What other robotics competitions are there besides FRC?

FIRST hosts 3 other robotics competitions, FIRST LEGO League, Junior FIRST LEGO League, and FIRST Vex Challenge. The LEGO competitions are for elementary to middle school students while the Vex Challenge is for high school students.

KIPR (Kiss Institute for Practical Robotics) hosts Botball, a LEGO based competition for middle and high school students.
