  In the future, the frontiers of technology will be determined by the quality of math and science education available today. To engage and inspire the next generation of innovators, we support FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a competition designed to spark interest in science and engineering. Among the 927 international teams that competed in 2004 were 16 UTC-sponsored teams of high school students who spent several months working with our mentors/engineers to design and build robots in preparation for competition. Since 1994, we have provided $2 million in grant support to FIRST.
