Buffalo FIRST Family

Working with Our Neighbors to Tackle Our Biggest Challenges

The Alumiboti have partnered with other Western New York-based teams to strengthen the Buffalo FIRST Family, a collective aimed to promote & improve STEM education in the area.

We created a sport, [FIRST], as exciting as every other—but the only one where every kid on every team has the chance to turn pro.

Dean Kamen

Co-Founder of FIRST

Knowledge, competition, and empathy are comfortably blended…One can add to society and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing one has acted with integrity and sensitivity.

Woodie Flowers

Co-Founder of FIRST and Distinguished MIT Professor

FIRST is more than robots. The robots are a vehicle for students to learn important life skills. Kids often come in not knowing what to expect. They leave with a vision, with confidence, and with a sense that they can create their own future
