Inspiring innovation and fostering well-rounded life capabilities
Dow and FIRST® Robotics have been strategic partners since 2014. Our values and ambition align with the hands-on experiences youth gain from FIRST® Robotics and the program’s focus on inclusion. Dow funding allows FIRST to directly reach 36,000 students in 26 Dow communities.
Challenges and competitions
FIRST® Robotics Competition
The hardest fun you’ll have
The Ultimate Sport for the Mind™, FIRST® Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. It’s as close to real engineering as a high schooler can get.
FIRST® Tech Challenge
Code, design, compete
FIRST® Tech Challenge students learn to think like engineers as they design, build and program robots that compete in an alliance format. The event also cultivates—and rewards—life skills like community outreach.
FIRST® LEGO® League
Building blocks for imagination
FIRST® LEGO® League engages young students in engineering via the familiar interlocking blocks. Teams build LEGO-based robots, get guidance from coaches and learn to make positive contributions to society.
