FIRST

   For  Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.
Since the establishment of Team 3003 in 2008, team Tan[x] from Canandaigua, NY has flourished with an average of 30-40 members. The team in 2013, during the Aerial Assist challenge, went on to win the Finger Lakes Regional at Rochester's Institute of Technology, and win several awards including the 2013 Industrial Design Award! We have participated in many events like the Finger Lakes Regional, Buckeye Regional, Tech Valley Regional, and the FIRST National Championship.

WHAT WE DO
​In the words of Dean Kamen (FIRST`s Co-Founder), "Our mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership." With these words in mind fellow students construct robots to complete a task in a small scale to stimulate the mind and
​create a better future.
