FIRST Brand Guidelines and Logos

FIRST provides opportunities for students to become well-rounded individuals encompassing student leadership, work-based learning, and career learning pathways. The combination of these opportunities are an essential part of Career and Technical Education.

Through FIRST programs, students discover careers and often explore what it is like to work in that career through their industry mentors and learning within their team roles.​ We also offer many opportunities for students to explore careers through our alumni and industry partnerships.

Many industry certifications can be used as stackable credentials that can help students show their potential employers the skills they have, such as mastery of a particular software or hardware component. Explore the pathways to learn more about the available certifications and learning opportunities for certifications through FIRST partnerships.

Our goal is to provide a consistent musical atmosphere for all FIRST events with playlists of music that inspire, motivate, uplift, and create a positive atmosphere that promotes Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition.
