What is FIRST?

 

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology)

 

FIRST was founded in 1989 to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology. Based in Manchester, NH, the 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit public charity designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge and life skills. To learn more about the FIRST programs see www.usfirst.org.  

 

One of the Girl Scout Heart of the Hudson initiatives is to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and working with the FIRST organization gives us a great opportunity.
