FIRST-For
Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology
The FIRST Robotics Competition is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way. The program is a life-changing, career-molding experience—and a lot of fun.
Teams came from Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Israel, Mexico, the U.K., and almost every U.S. state. The competitions are high-tech spectator sporting events, the result of lots of focused brainstorming, real-world teamwork, dedicated mentoring, project timelines, and deadlines.
FIRST is a multinational non-profit organization, that
aspires to transform culture, making science, math, engineering, and technology as cool for kids as sports are today
FIRST VISION
"To create a world where science and technology are
celebrated ... where young people dream of becoming science and technology
heroes" Dean Kamen, Founder First Robotics
HYPER HISTORY
We started this year by winning the T-Shirt competition
at the 2008 Florida Regional and was on the second place alliance at the event.
The 2007-2008 season marks Team HYPER’s
11th year as a partnership between Quincy Public Schools and Gillette.
The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and
Technology) Organization sponsors the annual robotics competition that pairs up companies or universities with high schools to encourage students to pursue careers in science and engineering. FIRST
began in 1992 with 28 teams.
Though all activities center around the robot and competition,
Team HYPER has become much more. We provide an environment for students to test out different interests and skills through hands-on experience. We are a diverse group of individuals, but focused as a team toward one goal.
Our Mission
Our name says it all: HYPER = Helping Youth Pursue Engineering and Robotics.
