Who we are:

Blue Lightning is a team based at Fairport High School and for the past several years has been a large team of more than 50 students. They are noted for their blue hair, their enthusiasm that always puts them in as a contender for the Spirit Award, and for their consistently award-winning websites.

About FIRST:

FIRST(For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) is a program that encourages students to pursue math, science, and engineering careers as they learn from professional mentors and develop life skills such as self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

Students have six weeks to design, build, and program a robot. Others create 3D animations, build a website, and create thousands of buttons to trade with other teams at competitions. Regionals take place across the country, culminating in the international finals in Atlanta, Georgia.
