Staying Connected & Getting Involved

We all know that FIRST has a huge and diverse community, but do you have trouble staying up to date on what's happening with your favorite teams? This blog will walk you through a few tips for staying in the loop on the events you want to know about! 

Get a Twitter! Twitter is a fast and easy way to see updates from teams, and even from FIRST HQ! You can see pictures, video, and updates all in one place, and ask questions if you need to. By using the hashtag #omgrobots, you can check out everything that is happening in the FIRST community, everything from scores at an event to outreach ideas!
Here are some suggested Twitter pages:
FIRST Ladies
FIRST HQ
FLL
FTC
FRC

Sign up for email blasts and the newsletter! FIRST sends out updates via email all the time to keep everyone involved in the latest news. By signing up for these emails, you can see everything you need to know, like that FIRST recently launched a new website and branding campaign!

Join a Facebook group! There are so many groups on Facebook for the FIRST community, whether you are a coach, team member, or alumni. Joining these groups helps to get a more broad perspective on the FIRST community as a whole, in addition to having a place for discussion around whatever FIRST program you may be involved in. This is a great place to ask questions and get them answered quickly!
