About the Organization

Mission

The mission of FIRST North Carolina is to provide life-changing high-school robotics program that give young people the skills, confidence, and resilience to build a better world.

FIRST NC 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.

Services

We offer high-school robotics programs through school-based or after-school-based providers. We also offer professional development for teachers and others interested in providing the FIRST programs to their students.

Our work around racial equity centers on providing access to high-quality STEM programs to all high-school students in North Carolina. We partner for grants specific to providing access and equity to students from underserved/underrepresented populations in STEM fields. We provide Professional Development to teachers and leaders working directly with youth. We provide free training resources for working with youth on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
