The FIRST (For
Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) Robotics
Competition is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals
and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive
way. The program is a life-changing, career-molding experience—and a
lot of fun. In 2006, there were over 28,000 students on 1,133 teams in 33 events in the US, Canada, and Israel.
Last year,
Boston debuted its FIRST regional event with over 40 high school teams,
mostly from Massachusetts, but others from out of state and even Brazil!
This
year's 2008 event promises to be bigger and better!
Unique, high-tech, sophisticated
robots (& their
student developers) will compete in a highly energized, rock concert atmosphere,
surrounded by hundreds of volunteers, amazing people, and gracious corporate
sponsors.
Come cheer them on and get involved!
