FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a non-profit that globally impacts of over 300,000+ students annually. Through innovative mentor-based programs, FIRST excites students and the community about STEM by combining technical skills with the thrill of a sporting event. FIRST inspires students, even those who struggle to succeed in traditional schools, to “go pro” and become leaders in STEM through cooperative education. It instills self-confidence, critical thinking, and perseverance in the face of adversity in its members.

It is the mission of Grizzly Robotics to foster self-confidence, critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills in our members by engaging them in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) based activities.  Students are introduced to engineering and business concepts through management, design, and construction of robots that compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).  Our goal is to impact our community and culture by inspiring students to pursue higher education and careers in STEM.

Since the beginning, safety has always been our priority. Basics such as Goggles and no Jewelry in the shop is always followed. Hoping to encourage other teams to do the same, we have made a series of safety videos and given them to other teams to encourage safety and responsibility. We'd like to encourage each and every team to follow FIRST's Safety manual. For your convenience we have included the 2017 Safety Manual by FIRST®
