Advancing stem education
STEM education through the FIRST Global Challenge
Through the Baker Hughes Foundation, we are committed to advancing STEM education around the world. One of the greatest examples is our multi-year partnership with FIRST Global to promote STEM opportunities around the world with a special focus on females and underserved populations.
The FIRST Global Challenge program engages global teams of students and their volunteer mentors to design and build robots to compete in tournaments. Along the way students develop a wide range of skills including project management, fundraising, coding, engineering, and teamwork.
In 2019 the FIRST Global Challenge engaged more than 2,500 students and 800 volunteers from 191 countries.
