FIRST is a K-12 robotics program founded by Dean Kamen (of Segway fame) that is designed to get kids interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM for short). In Memphis, there are a number of First Lego League Teams (30+), 14 First Robotics Competition teams and a few First Tech Challenge teams. All need mentors to help design, build and program robots. There is also a FLL Championship at the University of Memphis and a number of FRC Events to help the students with their robots all of which need volunteers.

IEEE Memphis is a proud sponsor of the West TN FLL Championship held at the University of Memphis and we strongly encourage our members to get involved in this wonderful program that encourages students to learn about engineering!
