THE CORE VALUE OF THE FIRST ROBOTICS PROGRAM IS GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM & COOPERTITION
Friendly competition is at the heart of Challenge, as teams of students ages 9-16* engage in research, problem- solving, coding, and engineering – building and programming a LEGO robot that navigates the missions of a robot game.
The FIRST Community expresses the FIRST philosophies of Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® through our Core Values:
- Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas.
- Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
- Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
- Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
- Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.
- Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do!
