The FIRST? in Texas Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports FIRST? Robotics teams and events across Texas with a focus on increasing accessibility for low-income and underrepresented students. FIRST? participants are significantly more likely to attend college, major in science or engineering, and be outstanding future employees and citizens. By investing in Texas students’ participation in FIRST?, we address the growing demands of the STEM workforce.
WHO WE ARE
With guidance and oversight provided by the FIRST? in Texas Board, we disperse hundreds of thousands of dollars in team grants each year. FIRST? in Texas works closely with FIRST?, which inspires young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation and foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
MISSION
FIRST? in Texas’ mission is to increase access to FIRST? programs in Texas. Our vision is that every Texas student has the opportunity to participate in FIRST?Robotics!
