πRhoTechs Code of Conduct

What is FIRST?

FIRST is defined as For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology

The mission at FIRST is to inspire a generation of science and technology leaders who are both gracious and professional.

This in its essence, means that this organization, and all three of its competitions, is training high school and middle school students to be the next generation of
Scientists, Engineers, Designers, Inventors, & Members of other Disciplines of Science.

This/The FIRST Code of Conduct lists some of the basic behaviors mentors, coaches, volunteers, team members, affiliate partners, contractors, staff,
& other participants should adhere to while participating in FIRST activities.

• Exhibit Gracious Professionalism® at all times. Gracious Professionalism is a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the
  value of others, & respects individuals & the community. With Gracious Professionalism, fierce competition & mutual gain are NOT separate notions.
• Do Not engage in any form of bullying, harassment, use of profane or insulting language, or any actual or threatened violence.
• Ensure the safety of all participants in FIRST activities.
• Adhere to all FIRST Youth Protection Program (YPP) policies.
• Report any unsafe behavior to event or local FIRST leadership.

Persons who do not comply with this Code of Conduct may be barred from participating in FIRST activities.
