Boston FIRST

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a one-of-a-kind program for middle and high school students founded by inventor Dean Kamen.

Designed to encourage students to pursue science and engineering, FIRST, works with mentors within business, education and government to make science as cool as sports.

About Boston

The Boston area is full of places to eat, tour, and shop. The North End offers an Italian atmosphere; Quincy Market and Fanueil Hall, both near the New England Aquarium, are great for shopping and dining.

The Freedom Trail will take you on a walking tour of historic sites in downtown Boston. And not only is the city great for walking, the MBTA public transportation system makes it relatively easy to get around.
