- (1888PressRelease) November 08, 2023 - Future Electronics, a leading global supplier of electronic components, recently made a generous donation to FIRST, a nonprofit organization encouraging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning, innovation, and leadership in young people around the world.
In November 2023, Future Electronics will host its premier training and conference event, Advanced Engineering University. Over 35 supplier partners will participate in helping prepare Future Electronics employees for customer and industry demands. In lieu of gifts to these suppliers, Future Electronics has made a charitable donation to contribute to the up-and-coming STEM community.
FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, is the world’s leading youth-serving nonprofit advancing STEM education. The organization aims to inspire young people to be science and technology innovators while equipping them with life skills such as self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
FIRST is on a global mission with teams in 110 countries and over 679,000 students participating in the 2019-2020 season. The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people (ages 4-18) to be science and technology leaders and innovators, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based research and robotics programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills while equipping them with the confidence to be leaders in their schools and communities.
FIRST was founded by Dean Kamen, a prolific inventor, entrepreneur, and tireless advocate for science and technology. His passion and determination to help young people discover the excitement and rewards of science and technology are the cornerstones of FIRST. For over 30 years, Mr. Kamen has resolutely led the growth of FIRST to where it is now universally recognized as the leading, not-for-profit STEM engagement program for kids worldwide.
The organization will use the donation to fund programs worldwide including FIRST Lego League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition.
As a company deeply passionate about innovation, Future Electronics believes strongly in FIRST’s mission. Future Electronics is delighted to contribute to such a wonderful organization.
