Florida FIRST Alumni
Since its founding in 1989, hundreds of thousands of youth have been part of FIRST programs worldwide. As we enter our 24th year of providing quality STEM education programs, we’re also starting to see 2nd generation involvement, as the children of former FIRST team members begin taking up RCXs, EV3s, and NXTs in Jr. FLL and FLL, and multiple generations of families are often involved in teams and tournament production. Many FIRST alum fully subscribe to the philosophy that FIRST is for Life!
The Florida FIRST Alumni group boasts nearly 200 members and growing, with a robust Twitter group, a professional LinkedIn group and plans for additional social media and networking resources for professional and personal achievement as well as for providing continued mentoring and support services to next generation FIRST students.
