FIRST Robotics Program

FIRST, an acronym for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science & Technology", is a non-profit organization whose mission is to generate interest in science and technology in today’s youth.

Festo has supported FIRST since it’s inception on Long Island in 2000, as it’s our corporate belief that this program is an investment in a brighter and more secure future for everyone involved.

Support consists of:

  • Donation of product for all teams
  • Direct financial support to the LI event
  • Engineering and manufacturing support for teams
  • We support on all local level and encourage our employees to get involve
