Earth’s oceans are more than what you can see on the horizon. Beneath the surface lies our planet’s most complex ecosystems, full of life and potential for exploration, learning, and innovation. Modern marine technology allows us to gain more immersive knowledge of the ocean’s greatest wonders, but more than 80% of the ocean is still waiting to be explored. How will you use your STEM skills to dive into the unknown and improve life on land and underwater? Join our 2024-2025 ocean-themed robotics season, FIRST DIVE presented by Qualcomm, and uncover the potential in each of us to strengthen our community and innovate for a better world: 🌊 FIRST LEGO League SUBMERGED launches August 6, 2024. 🌊 FIRST Tech Challenge INTO THE DEEP presented by RTX launches September 7, 2024. 🌊 FIRST Robotics Competition REEFSCAPE presented by Gene Haas Foundation launches January 4, 2025.
