FIRST at Yale

Our Mission:

Our mission is to raise awareness of FIRST® Robotics at Yale University and to foster connections between individuals who have a background in FIRST or want to become involved in it. We help the Yale community stay engaged with FIRST through mentoring local robotics teams in New Haven, mentoring robotics teams globally through video calls, and volunteering at tournaments throughout New England, New York, and beyond.



Our Activities:

The Fun Gang is a FIRST Robotics Team based out of Achievement First Amistad High School in New Haven. Since 2019, FIRST at Yale has supplied volunteer mentors to help run the team and teach the students about robotics. This year we intend to continue mentoring the team and onboard new mentors.
