Mission Statement
The mission of ingenuityNE/NEFIRST is to inspire young people to become science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build STEM skills that inspire innovation, and foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
About This Cause
Founded in 2012 to assist FIRST in expanding program reach and to better manage FIRST’s exponential growth, NE FIRST is the operational partner organization of FIRST programs in the six New England states supporting the mission to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting Mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership. NE FIRST’s innovative approach to inspiring the next generation of engineers and scientists and advanced manufacturing skilled workers includes providing STEM mentors, a real-world problem or challenge to solve, a robotic build challenge for older students, competition events combined with fundraising, marketing and learning how to create and implement business plans. Students and mentors stay connected to FIRST long after they have completed the program – many have been associated with FIRST since the start. FIRST builds community, networking opportunities and a direct link to employers and jobs. FIRST creates a school-to-career pipeline through which young people are inspired to explore opportunities in science and technology and related fields. By successfully forming coalitions with corporations, universities, and public schools FIRST has become the premiere after-school robotics program in the nation.
