FIRST for Everyone

FIRST for Inclusivity

We partnered with the Turkey Paraplegic Association (TOFD) to provide eight weeks of Scratch and Python training to 30 physically disabled children. We mentored the world's first visually impaired FLL team from Türkan Sabancı Secondary School, helping them win the Rising Star Award at the 2021-2022 CARGO CONNECT FLL tournament.

FIRST for Her

We launched FIRST4Her to mentor 20 girls in mechatronics and coding, introducing them to FIRST and FRC. We collaborated with other FRC teams and HeforShe to expand this mentor-based movement and increase girls' involvement in Turkish FRC teams.

Girls Connected

With this project, we reached a female community with 20+ teams and regularly conducted community meetings to share inspiring actions, interact with each other, and work collaboratively.
