Earth’s oceans are more than what you can see on the horizon. Beneath the surface lies our planet’s most complex ecosystems, full of life and potential for exploration, learning, and innovation. Modern marine technology allows us to gain more immersive knowledge of the ocean’s greatest wonders, but more than 80% of the ocean is still waiting to be explored. How will you use your STEM skills to dive into the unknown and improve life on land and underwater? Join our 2024-2025 ocean-themed robotics season, FIRST DIVE presented by Qualcomm, and uncover the potential in each of us to strengthen our community and innovate for a better world: ?? FIRST LEGO League SUBMERGED launches August 6, 2024. ?? FIRST Tech Challenge INTO THE DEEP presented by RTX launches September 7, 2024. ?? FIRST Robotics Competition REEFSCAPE presented by Gene Haas Foundation launches January 4, 2025. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ejQjgX8W #FIRSTDIVE #SUBMERGED #INTOTHEDEEP #REEFSCAPE

Among the four most influential things to come out of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the past 25 years? According to Boston Globe Media: FIRST. “FIRST alumni are 17 percent more likely to declare a major in a STEM-related field in college than their high school peers who took math and science courses, but didn’t participate in the competition.” What began as a small engineering competition in Manchester, New Hampshire founded by prolific inventor Dean Kamen and patterned after a robot-building course at MIT pioneered by the late Dr. Woodie Flowers, is now making a global impact on millions of youth, inspiring them to not only start exploring STEM from a young age, but to pursue an ever-expanding arena of STEM careers after high school graduation.
