Midsummer Mayhem Mission:

• Offer an opportunity for the diverse members of our community to learn about and engage with STEM and the FIRST Robotics Program.

• Provide an opportunity for teams to play the game in a fun, educational, less stressful environment over the summer to build skills and try new things.

• Increase the number of matches that teams are offered compared to a regular season event to help with skill development within a competition setting.

• Create a place where other teams can grow and learn, both within their own programs and through the connections and relationships that they build with others through the lens of competition.

• Assist programs with recruiting new team members and mentors by hooking them over the summer with a fun and competitive environment for participants, volunteers and spectators.

Call for Volunteers now OPEN!

Are you excited about the opportunities that FIRST Robotics provides for high school students interested in STEM? A few hours spent volunteering in August helps to create transformational experiences for teens between the ages of 14-18 in your community.

There are many roles that need to be filled to execute Midsummer Mayhem and we are hoping that we get to work together with YOU! If you would like to volunteer or inquire about the various positions available, please complete the Volunteer Interest Form.
