UConn FIRST
A Gathering of FIRST Alumni
UConn FIRST is more than just an educational society. Their main task is to gather alumni from the FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST Tech Challenge teams who attend the University of Connecticut.
The organization started in 2016 when a group of FIRST alumni at UConn wanted to continue their engagement in the community despite no longer competing on teams. They wanted to create a space where FIRST alumni at UConn could come and share their passion for robotics while developing professional, networking, and mentorship skills.
They form one cohesive family: educating members, developing their professional skills, and encouraging them to network with other FIRST alumni. Mentoring local teams and volunteering at events of all kinds in Connecticut and Massachusetts allows members to stay active in the FIRST community.
UConn FIRST is made up of members from FRC teams 181, 1071, 1124, 2168, 3464, 5686, and 8085; and FTC teams 5518, 5520 and 8152.
This year, UConn FIRST will host an NE FIRST University Day on December 2! Register to attend or sign up to present!
