Please remember...
FIRST is a global program, not a Glastonbury program. If G-REC has already lent out all our equipment for a particular season, that does not mean interested parents can’t go ahead and register their children with FIRST, form a team, and get together the materials they need to participate! Please visit firstinspires.org to learn how to participate in these great programs for kids.
