𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Tech Slovenia

To inspire and solve challenges through robotics

Who are we?

𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Slovenia is a group of high school students and mentors who like to build robots and with their help confront jucy challanges. We represent the country of Slovenia in international robotics competitions and we need all the help we can get.

What is 𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇?

𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 is the organisation behind competitions, where hundreds of thousands of high school students all around the world build on their passion in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The competitions bring together leading STEM experts of the future and encourage the participants to help solve any and every global problem. With this the participants gain experience in different STEM fields.

What do we do?

𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Global Challenge

Annual international competition 𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Global Challenge, which inspires nearly two thousand high school students and mentors (yearly!) to develop a passion for STEM, is a charitable robotics competition with the goal of networking and connecting students from different backgrounds, languages, religions and customs to work together towards a common goal. Each countries representative team builds a robot over the summer on a specific theme and then competes in the fall against other teams. For more information, you can visit the official 𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Global Challenge website.
Among other things, 𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Global:

  • motivates high school students and mentors (college students) to learn the necessary skills to discover something new, so they can have a positive impact on the world!
  • aims to convince governments and organizations around the world to support STEM education.

Theme for this year's challenge, held in Panama City from 29th October to 1st November

𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Tech Challenge

Series of regional qualifiers and world championship, 𝐹𝐼𝑅𝑆𝑇 Tech Challenge, which inspires almost 100 thousand students annually, is a competition with the goal of further educating high school students in the fields of STEM.
