“FIRST supports National Lab Day as a way to get the word out that our nation needs more young people who pursue an education and career in the STEM fields. America built its economic and technological leadership on innovation — developing breakthrough technologies in communications, information technology, medicine, and many other disciplines. By engaging over 200,000 students each year in our robotics competitions, FIRST is making it “cool to be smart” and inspiring these young people to dream of becoming science and technology heroes — a goal we share with other National Lab Day participants."
