For back-to-back weeks in April 2018, a record 70,000 people traveled to Houston and Detroit to celebrate inspiring young innovators, leaders, and changemakers at the 2018 FIRST Championship presented by Qualcomm^® Incorporated. The world’s largest celebration of STEM for students included 30,000+ students from 74 countries, supported by 6,000+ coaches/mentors and 2,400+ volunteers and cheered on by 30,000+ sponsors and spectators.
 

We hope you’ll join us next season for a celebration of space innovation and STEM inspiration, culminating with the 2019 FIRST Championship in Houston (April 17-20, 2019) and Detroit (April 24-27, 2019).
