Wings Over Wayne Airshow
What is FIRST?
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) - is an international youth organization that is the world's leading youth serving non-profit advancing STEM education for students in grades K-12. More than 82,600 students from over 30 countries compete annually in competitions designed to test engineering and programming skills, while also providing recognition for areas such as entrepreneurship, teamwork, safety, inspiration, and volunteerism.
Why join a robotics team?
Robotics provides a niche opportunity to gain real-world technical experience from mentors in STEM careers, while also building skills in communication, leadership, and confidence. Not everyone plans to become an engineer, and that's okay! We love seeing how each team member approaches robotics in a unique way, and are excited to see what they do in the future! FIRST NC supported 77 FRC teams during the 2023-2024 competition season. To find a team in your area, check out their website!
How does G-Force support the community?
G-Force is committed to sharing STEM in our community and inspiring the next generation of students through outreach events, STEM programs and public speaking engagements.
We are excited to again host the Wings over Wayne STEM Hangar for the 2025 Airshow at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base! We hope to see you at our largest outreach event!
