FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an international, non-profit organization based in Manchester, NH. Its goal is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in innovative mentor-based programs. Along with science and technology skills and interests, FIRST programs also build self-confidence, leadership, and life skills by promoting Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition . FIRST was founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway Human Transporter, in partnership with MIT physics professor emeritus, Woodie Flowers. FIRST offers robotics programs for students of all ages, starting in elementary schools at age six and continuing through high-school levels up to age eighteen.

The Bionic Black Hawks participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition program. The FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology, and is known as "the varsity sport for the mind". At the end of each season, qualifying teams compete at the FIRST Championships. In the past, there has only been one FIRST Championship which decided the winner of the FIRST Robotics Competition. However, recently, the FIRST Championship has been held in two locations each year. This provides FIRST with two winning alliances, which eventually will compete against each other for the title of "world champion." |
