‘FIRST’ Tech Challenge Robotics Competition Coming To Westchester

Fledgling techies will be going toe-to-toe - or, maybe, widget-to-widget - this weekend during the first-ever robotics contest to be held at Peekskill High School. Fourteen teams from high schools and clubs will compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge, set to start at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. FIRST, a nonprofit founded more than two decades ago by inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen, says its mission is to "inspire young people to be science and technology leaders."
