The FIRST® Robotics Competition inspires innovation and fosters well-rounded life capabilities in tens of thousands of young people every year.

"Fostering education has been a large part of our mission here at Mouser since our founding," said Kevin Hess, Mouser's Senior Vice President of Marketing. "We are proud to continue sponsoring a program that supports the brightest young minds and future engineers. The FIRST Robotics Competition provides students with a platform for innovation, a chance to solve real engineering challenges, and an opportunity to build character and self-esteem."

Since 2014, Mouser has been a major supporter of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a leading youth-serving nonprofit advancing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education through hands-on robotics programs. Mouser proudly supports FIRST Robotics teams in its local community as well, providing grants for high school teams across Tarrant County, Texas.

The FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sports with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules and limited time and resources, student teams are challenged to build industrial-sized robots to play difficult field games in alliance with other teams while also fundraising to meet their goals, designing a team brand and advancing respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community.
