FIRST RGV, INC. takes the safety of our volunteers, staff and students very seriously. We are actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic in south Texas and will adjust guidance as required to comply with local, state and federal health officials. Currently, masks are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED at all of our events.
For students who like to problem solve and design things, there is something in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) pathway for you. In the STEM pathways, you will learn by doing. This hands-on approach to learning gives you the 21st-century skills you will need to compete in our global society. Our programs are designed to promote specific skills in working as a team, sustainability, business planning, and coding/programming. Our programs require working as a team to code, build, and promote your robot while involved in a fast past robotics competition.
Our programs include these important skills: problem-solving, critical thinking, 21st century learning skills, and emotional learning.

Camps, Workshops and Professional Development
We are excited to offer year-round STEM and Professional Development opportunities for students and adults. Students and adults can quickly review what we have to offer either in person or online. This allows for maximum inclusion in the excitement we have created in the Rio Grande Valley in robotics, coding, and various other STEM activities.
Through various partnerships, we can host an event at your campus, at one of our partner entities or even at our offices. We will gladly work to customize an opportunity/subject of interest to you and your organization.
