Support MS FIRST® Tech Challenge

The Mississippi FIRST® Tech Challenge Robotics Program (MS FTC) is a great way for a company, educational institution, philanthropic foundation, or individual to make a contribution to the education of our youth.

FIRST® Tech Challenge provides students hands-on experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) which help build a technologically literate workforce with strong business skills.

Inspire the Next Generation

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, donations, employee volunteerism, and mentoring, our supporters provide vital resources for the success and growth of the program.
