Hi FIRST Nevada friends!
The 2026-2027 FIRST CANOPY season is here, and our teams are gearing up for an exciting year of innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving. We’d love for you to be part of it!
Volunteers are the heart of our mission – from mentoring students to helping run events, your time and energy directly empower young minds to dream big, code boldly, and build amazing things.
Why join us?
- Inspire the next generation of engineers, coders, and innovators
- Share your skills (no robotics experience required – just enthusiasm!)
- Connect with a supportive, like-minded community
- Witness the joy of kids turning ideas into reality
Sign up today to volunteer for the 2026-2027 season: www.firstinspires.org
Whether you can give a few hours at a competition or mentor a team throughout the year, your impact will last far beyond the season. Let’s work together to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence in every student we reach.
Thank you for helping us build a brighter future – one robot at a time.
