Mouser Electronics supports FIRST robotics competition, nurtures future engineers

During the 2022-23 FIRST Robotics Competition season, nearly 100,000 high school students on more than 3,400 teams from across the world are learning, discovering, and solving engineering challenges through a series of robotics events.
 
"Since our founding, education has been a main facet of Mouser's mission," said Kevin Hess, Mouser's Senior
Vice President of Marketing. 

"We are very honoured to once again be a sponsor of FIRST Robotics Competition, which we have proudly supported for a decade. The organisation gives students around the world a platform for innovation, a chance to learn valuable engineering skills, and an opportunity to build character and self-esteem."

Since
2014, Mouser has been a major supporter of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a leading youth-serving non-profit advancing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education through hands-on robotics programs. 

Mouser sponsors FIRST virtual and live competitions at the local, regional, state, and international levels. Joining Mouser in the
sponsorship is valued manufacturer partner Analog Devices, Inc.

The global authorised distributor will be a major presenting co-sponsor of the FIRST in Texas/UIL State Robotics Championships, planned for 6-8 April at the George R. Brown Convention Centre in Houston, Texas. Mouser also supports FIRST teams in its community, providing grants for local high
school teams. 

Additionally, Mouser will continue its exclusive sponsorship of the Hall of Fame at the 2023 FIRST Championship, April 19-21 in Houston. The Hall of Fame honours the winning FIRST Robotics Competition teams of the esteemed Impact Award, which rewards the teams who best exemplify the goals and values of FIRST.
