Info for Schools – FIRST Libya

Why are schools across Libya taking on FIRST?

School based FIRST teams represent their schools wherever they go, even representing their school and Libya if they make world championship events!

Not only are these opportunities exciting experiences for the competitors – participation in the competitions teaches students problem solving, public speaking, teamwork, communication, time management, science and mathematics, research and technology skills. These are skills which are not only personally rewarding to the students but also reflect very well on their school.
