FIRST Brand & Marketing Hub
For more than 35 years, FIRST has built one of the most recognized brands in youth STEM education. Through award-winning campaigns, global partnerships, and community-driven storytelling, we connect people to new passions, inspire action, and help advance a mission that reaches millions around the world.
Our Gold Standard Approach
Connecting People to the Power of STEM
At FIRST, communications and storytelling are designed to do more than raise visibility and awareness. Our approach builds trust, strengthens communities, supports organizational growth, and creates opportunities for more young people to experience the power of STEM.
That purpose guides every story we share, partnership we build, and campaign we launch. Through strategic communications, we inspire students to join teams, guide new mentors and coaches, and help potential sponsors understand the value of investing in FIRST programs to further STEM opportunities. Our work is all about turning awareness and inspiration into action.
