Because of your commitment to making a difference as a FIRST® volunteer, the future of FIRST is bright. As we look ahead, we are proud to share with you a preview of our new Purpose & Mission statements, which underscore our promise to build a thriving global robotics community and to remain at the very forefront of STEM education. They retain and reaffirm our core identity and the foundational principles that guide us, and refine the way we express who we are and why we exist:
Purpose: FIRST exists to prepare the young people of today for the world of tomorrow. Mission: The mission of FIRST is to provide life-changing robotics programs that give young people the skills, confidence, and resilience to build a better world.
These statements will be updated on firstinspires.org next week. With the FIRST vision, values, and ethos of Coopertition® and Gracious Professionalism®, they are a commitment to our community that we will continue to grow and improve. Together, let's keep building a better future for all!
