FIRST, which stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, was founded by Dean Kamen, an inventor, entrepreneur and tireless advocate for science and technology, in 1989 and is based in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Kamen used his passion to help young people discover the excitement and rewards of science and technology as the cornerstone of the FIRST program. The not-for-profit public charity designs accessible and innovative programs to help motivate young people to further pursue educational and career opportunities in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. In addition, the programs help build self-confidence, knowledge and life skills.
