In January 2010, Planners Collaborative, Inc. was commissioned by FIRST® to conduct an evaluative survey of FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) teams directly supported by M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Foundation (Murdock) grants during the 2006‐2009 competition seasons.
The survey asked about the students’ confidence and interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) coursework and their plans to pursue STEM careers as a result of their involvement with FRC. You can read about the positive impact of FIRST Robotics:.
