For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) is an not-for-profit international youth organization that organizes competitions such as the FIRST Robotics Competition, the FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST LEGO League Challenge (FIRST, n.d. b).

It was founded by Dean Kamen on March 20, 1989 in Manchester, New Hampshire (FIRST, n.d.a). FIRST emphasizes “friendly sportsmanship, respect for the contributions of others, teamwork, learning, and community involvement” (FIRST, n.d. b). Their core values include discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, and fun (FIRST, n.d. b).

BONDS, team 5811, is a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team. We are a group of talented, outgoing students and our goal is to advance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) all over our Dayton Community.

Our mission is to bring STEAM opportunities to students in the local community through robotics. In our build season, students design, manufacture, and build a robot that will compete in a sports-like challenge against other national and international teams.

The Team will talk about the team & discuss how they use Computers to program thier robot.
