FIRST Robotics Canada is on a mission! We are on a mission to educate even more kids and youth about coding and programming. Thanks to CanCode funding, FIRST is embarking on some exciting new initiatives to get students engaged in coding.
Check out our coding booth at FIRST Robotics Competition events and check out some of our partners we’re working with on some cool programs!
As part of the CanCode program, we’ve created a complete FIRST Robotics Competition Java tutorial series to get you started for this years’ game. The tutorials will teach you the basics of programming starting from your first drive commands to using sensors!
We’ve created a complete FIRST LEGO League EV3 tutorial series to get you started no matter what your your coding abilities are!. The tutorials will teach you everything from how to upload code to your EV3 to how you can make your own blocks!

You love coding but you don’t know what kinds of opportunities the world of coding offers?
What kind of careers are out there? What companies hire people with coding skills? Is coding fun—even when it’s your job?
Here at FIRST Robotics Canada, we’ve been asked all of these questions and more. That’s why we created Girls in STEM—Your Future In Code. In this magazine, you’ll discover some cool coding facts and history about the industry, meet super talented women doing fascinating jobs, and learn all about where you might find your place in this amazing field.
