Sponsors are a key element to helping FIRST inspire young people to become the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professionals. Through financial contributions, in-kind donations, employee volunteerism and mentoring, supporters of FIRST provide vital resources for the success and growth of the program.

Why support FIRST in Missouri? FIRST is one of the leading STEM program for students ages 6-18 i supporting thousands of young people in the our region.  With key support from current supporters, FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs to build self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills while motivating young people to pursue opportunities in science, technology, and engineering.
