Student Board of Directors
Student Leadership. Real Impact.
The KY FIRST Robotics Student Board of Directors brings together FTC and FRC students from across the state to provide leadership, represent student voices, and help shape the future of FIRST in Kentucky.
What our Student Board is Working on
At their September 2026 retreat, Student Board members identified four areas where they want to make an impact this year. Working in student-led committees, they're turning those ideas into action.
Social Media
Growing KY FIRST's online presence and sharing stories from teams across Kentucky.
Educational Resources
Developing resources that help teams across the state.
Growth
Helping expand FIRST programs into new communities and supporting existing teams.
Advocate
Building awareness of FIRST and the importance of STEM education among schools, community leaders, and policymakers.
