The FIRST New Zealand Education Trust 

The mission of The FIRST New Zealand Education Trust (FIRST® NZ) is to engage young people throughout New Zealand to become the innovators of tomorrow through building science, technology and engineering competencies that will nurture their life skills including collaboration, self-worth and communication. 

We will achieve this through:

• mentoring-based programmes
• equality for all
• working towards understanding and solving real-life problems
• taking ownership of the future
