Welcome to Palmetto Partners

Palmetto Partners is the South Carolina region of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).

As a Sponsor, Mentor or Coach of a robotics team, you are, through the students, the key ingredient in their success. Your contribution to their achievement in First Challenge and First Robotic programs and ultimately to the success of Palmetto Partners is enormous. The financial commitment, time, responsibility and expertise of a Mentor or Coach will vary but the one constant is that bring something to these teams that they need to learn, grow and succeed.
