Hi Friend,

 
FIRST® Updates
 
Upcoming! FIRST® Dashboard Maintenance May 8-17: From May 8-17 the FIRST Dashboard will be undergoing scheduled maintenance and Thinkscape access through the FIRST Dashboard will be unavailable. To access your materials while the dashboard is unavailable, please follow these instructions before May 8 to update your Thinkscape profile and reset your password. Once your account is reset, you can log into Thinkscape directly to access your resources.
 
Your team roster will also be unavailable from May 8-17. We recommend that you print your team roster prior to the Dashboard maintenance, if needed, as well as any 2023 voucher codes and passwords that you would like to use or redeem during this period.
