With guidance and oversight provided by the FIRST® in Texas Board, we disperse hundreds of thousands of dollars in team grants each year. FIRST® in Texas works closely with FIRST®, which inspires 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 foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
As a grant recipient of the Texas Workforce Commission since our founding in 2010 as a grant distribution entity, our operations have significantly increased over the last ten years. FIRST in Texas now operates almost all of the programs statewide.
As we work as a community to prepare young people for a STEM future, FIRST in Texas aims to ensure its programs are having a lasting, positive impact on participants across all demographic groups.
