FIRST® Robotics Competition & Tech Challenge
We embrace and promote initiatives focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). These programs are vital for increasing the vibrancy of the American economy and our industrial manufacturing base.
Organizations such as FIRST help to bridge the gap between education and the business world by engaging participants in hands-on learning challenges.
Bishop-Wisecarver has provided consistent and increasing support of FIRST since 2007 through support of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), and we are proud to continue our support of FIRST for the 2025 season!
