For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, (FIRST) is a global robotics community that prepares young students for careers in science and technology.
Every year, FIRST brings together more than 500,000 students from all over the world for thousands of robotics competitions that culminate in a thrilling championship event.
Robots and kit-of-parts must be transported all over the world, sometimes thousands of miles, to make these competitions possible, and participating teams look for opportunities to help fund their robotics season so that they can participate in everything that FIRST has to offer.
Enter FedEx, which supports FIRST as part of the company's FedEx Cares "Delivering for Good" initiative, in which FedEx lends its global network and unparalleled logistics expertise to organizations with valuable cargo requests and assists communities before, during, and after disasters. As innovation and STEM are key building blocks for improving sustainable logistics, it only makes sense to support organizations like FIRST, which teach young minds how to improve current processes to make the world a better place and help companies like FedEx conduct business more efficiently—working smarter, not harder.
FedEx also helps a variety of FIRST student teams advance their STEM knowledge and collaboration.
