Fastenal Partners with FIRST® Robotics to Broaden Competition Access

Fastenal has entered a partnership with the nonprofit FIRST® Robotics. The collaboration focuses on expanding access to robotics competitions. Fastenal will provide hardware, tools, and logistical support to teams. The initiative targets schools and communities with limited resources. By lowering cost barriers, the program seeks to increase student participation. FIRST® Robotics will integrate Fastenal’s supplies into its competition kits. The partnership aligns with Fastenal’s corporate social responsibility goals. Organizers hope the effort will inspire more youth to pursue STEM careers.
