What Inspired You to Make This?
We all know the importance of getting kids interested in STEM at an early age, and luckily FIRST does too. FIRST is a non-profit with programs designed to “inspire innovation and leadership through engaging, hands-on robotics challenges developed to ignite curiosity and passion in students in grades K-12.” That means young people are getting the opportunities to learn valuable science, engineering, technology, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Playing At Learning delivers the FIRST robotics programs - FIRST LEGO League and FIRST Tech Challenge - to all Northern California youth.
