FIRST Indiana Robotics

ABOUT

FIRST Indiana Robotics is an organization dedicated to growing FIRST robotics programs in the state of Indiana. Founded in the fall of 2001 as the Indiana-based affiliate of FIRST. FIRST Indiana Robotics brings FIRST programming to students in grades K-12, teaching them hands-on skills in engineering, science, and technology that they can relate back to their classwork.

We believe young people should have the opportunity to choose their career path regardless of zip code or life circumstances.  Our mentors guide students through complex engineering challenges, but more importantly, pass on communication skills, teamwork, and perseverance through failure in order to prepare our young people for the workforce.

  • Volunteer - FIRST events are run and staffed by volunteers. There are also opportunities for professionals to get involved in judging competitions.
  • Mentor - Students can benefit from working closely with experienced professions in a variety of areas including electrical, mechanical, pneumatics, CAD, programming, sensors, app design, business writing, and digital design.
  • Connect and Inspire - Robotics teams can benefit from business tours and informational sessions to learn about technology and future career opportunities.
  • Sponsor - Student teams conduct various fundraising activities to support the production of new robots and to allow all students to attend the competitions each season.

    Businesses can donate materials, tools, and other hardware to build a robot or could offer space for teams to meet, build, and/or practice.

We want to work with your organization or company to help you own your workforce pipeline and engage your employees in community outreach.
