FIRSTfare is the annual conference held every fall to support FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST Tech Challenge teams in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Led by students and mentors from local teams, FIRSTfare features a wide variety of presentations, including sessions on game strategy, machine vision, programming, shop skills, and more.

To learn more see FIRSTfare Event Information.

• Submit a presentation: Email volunteering@ortop.org with a short description of what you’d like to share.
• Sponsor the event or make a gift: FIRSTfarer has always been free to participants because of support from sponsors, individual donors, and the seasonal registration fees paid by Teams. When you donate to ORTOP or register your team for the season, you help make this event happen.

• FIRSTfare would not be possible without the work of the volunteers and staff on the Planning Committee, or our many corporate and community partners.
