Honeywell Helps Inspire the Next Generation of STEM Leaders Through FIRST Robotics

At Honeywell, innovation begins with people. That is why we help build pathways that connect classrooms to careers. Today’s students are the innovation leaders of the future who will help shape what comes next.

Our partnership with FIRST Robotics gives students hands-on opportunities to imagine, build, test and lead. Honeywell’s support is more than a community investment — it is an investment in the future talent pipeline. FIRST Robotics students develop real-world skills in engineering, coding, mechatronics, leadership, teamwork and problem solving, the same types of capabilities that power Honeywell’s innovation every day. These experiences help students connect classroom learning to practical challenges while building the confidence and collaboration skills needed for future careers in advanced industries.

The impact of FIRST extends far beyond competition. FIRST has reached students across 114 countries, helping build a global network of future Science, Technology, Engineers and Math (STEM) professionals. According to FIRST, 83% of FIRST alumni pursue STEM majors by their fourth year of college — a powerful reminder of how early exposure, mentorship and hands-on learning can shape future pathways.

Together, Honeywell and FIRST Robotics are helping students see themselves in STEM careers and preparing future innovators ready themselves for the demands of customers, communities and the world.
