This is an overview of my relationship with F.I.R.S.T. (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). They're a global non-profit that runs STEM education programs, primarily robotics competitions. You can read more about them here.
I was a member of an F.L.L. team from 4th to 6th grade as part of my elementary school's after-school program. F.L.L. was one of my first exposures to programming through their visual programming software and team-based work through the projects every F.L.L. team is required to present. I decided very soon after my initial exposure that I would do something related to Computer Science for the rest of my life.
Right out of elementary school, I helped Pamela Richards, a woman who had mentored for a variety of F.I.R.S.T. programs, found an FTC Team which I joined, Team #11232. This was my initial exposure to text-based programming and one of my formative leadership experiences. For the first year, I maintained the position of programming lead, heading up a small team of programmers for the team. For the second year, I returned to my programming lead position while picking up the role of team president.
F.R.C., the high school division of F.I.R.S.T., was a massive change from F.T.C. Team #6657 ran like a business and was a valuable experience for learning how to be a productive team member and a better team leader. Two of my four years were spent as one of the programming leads, dividing duties with one other lead. While not a formal role, I also handled data aggregation and processing for a variety of different team projects including scouting opponents and allies for competitions, managing a self-designed attendance system, and tracking team member participation. In my final year, I assumed the role of an accountant, keeping track of all funds, inventory, and purchases.
Starting in middle school, I began exploring the volunteering side of F.I.R.S.T. As a fundraiser for my F.T.C. team, we put on an F.L.L. tournament which we all volunteered at. In the four years this tournament ran, I fulfilled the catch-all role of the tournament organizer's assistant. I was in charge of any managerial task or problem that the tournament organizer was too busy to handle. I have volunteered in a variety of other tournaments and roles including a judge and a queuer. Besides tournament volunteering, I have also mentored both F.T.C. and F.R.C. teams. I spent two years as a junior mentor for Teams #11232 and #13926, and have spent one year as an F.R.C. mentor while in college for Team #3863.
