Future Electronics, a leading global distributor of electronic components, marked its Advanced Engineering University conference (AEU) 2024 event by making a generous donation to FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).
FIRST is a global nonprofit that provides hands-on robotics and mentorship programs for students ages 4-18, cultivating essential skills in science, engineering, and technology through collaboration and problem-solving. With programs like the FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST LEGO® League, the organization equips youth worldwide with tools to become future leaders.
Future Electronics’ charitable donation reflects FIRST’s commitment to fostering STEM learning at an early age and inspiring the next generation of innovators.
Dean Kamen, inventor and entrepreneur, founded FIRST to inspire young people to explore STEM fields and build self-confidence, teamwork, and leadership. Today, the organization operates in over 110 countries, engaging thousands of young minds in transformative STEM experiences.
As a company that values innovation and education, Future Electronics is proud to support FIRST and their mission to empower young technology enthusiasts globally. In lieu of gifts to the suppliers, this donation by Future Electronics will fund critical programs that continue to expand STEM access and opportunities worldwide.
