FIRST is a global robotics community preparing young people for the future.

• FIRST Inspires at  www.firstinspires.org/
• FIRST Canada at  www.firstroboticscanada.org/

FIRST does not match youth to existing teams due to their privacy policy. Teams form in local communities and recruit as needed. FIRST encourages those looking for a team to contact local schools, libraries, or youth organizations that may have a team in place or interest in starting one. 

The Machine Mavericks is providing this page as a quick reference for the Kingston area.
