Join us for the exhilarating FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), where high school students showcase their brilliance in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)!
Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a vibrant and intricate ecosystem teeming with life and endless opportunities for discovery. During the 2024-2025 FIRST® DIVE℠ season, presented by Qualcomm, teams will embark on an incredible journey to explore the wonders of the underwater world. Combining their STEM expertise and collaborative spirit, participants will uncover how every element of the ocean plays a vital role in creating a thriving, sustainable environment.
This year’s challenge, REEFSCAPE℠, presented by Haas, will call upon FIRST Robotics Competition teams to use their engineering skills to protect and enhance one of Earth’s most diverse habitats. Teams will dive deep to tackle unique tasks inspired by real-world ocean challenges, making waves in their mission to build a better world and foster healthy oceans.

Under strict rules, with limited time and resources, FIRST® Robotics Competition teams use sophisticated technology to build and program industrial-sized robots to play an action-packed, alliance-based game on a themed field. With professional mentors and sponsors, students learn engineering and problem-solving skills that they can apply to real-world situations today and in the future. Each team creates a team identity, raises funds to meet its goals, and works to promote STEM in their community.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an international non-profit organization designed to inspire students to pursue further studies and careers in science, engineering, technology, and mathematics. Students develop skills in problem solving, innovation, leadership and teamwork as well as design, manufacturing, programming and testing. FIRST’s programs reach 300,000 students in 70 countries. FIRST Robotics Canada, a Canadian non-profit started in 2002, now reaches 20,000 Canadian students.
