The 2017 FIRST Robotics season is in action right now, as hundreds of thousands of students in over 80 countries show off their brain power. FIRST teaches kids to build robots, but in the process students and mentors learn about teamwork, creativity, and the spirit of innovation.

FedEx has sponsored FIRST for 15 years, providing in-kind shipping, cash, and the social media FedEx Innovation Challenge for teams as they develop their own skills in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
