Advocacy

FIRST Indiana Robotics, in collaboration with our Student Board of Directors and teams, is committed to advancing statewide support for FIRST programming.

Give support

We advocate for equal access to STEM opportunities for all Hoosier children, regardless of their background or location. Our goals include providing every PreK-12 student in Indiana the chance to join a FIRST team, preparing students for multiple pathways after graduation—whether pursuing higher education, entering the workforce directly, serving in the military, or launching their own entrepreneurial ventures—and building a strong, sustainable STEM workforce pipeline for Indiana employers. By supporting our advocacy efforts, you help us create a future where hands-on, mentor-guided learning is available to every student in Indiana.
