About the event
Every season, 2,700+ volunteers power FIRST Chesapeake events across Virginia, Maryland, and DC - refereeing matches, judging awards, running fields, inspecting robots, and cheering on 10,000+ students as they build, compete, and discover what they're capable of.
No robotics experience? No problem. Most of our volunteers had never touched a robot before their first event. If you can keep score, welcome a team, or bring energy to a room, we have a role for you.
Join us for a quick, casual virtual session where we'll cover:
The roles available this season (from one-day gigs to season-long adventures)
What a competition day actually feels like (spoiler: loud, joyful, unforgettable)
