Disney, Lucasfilm and FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) have joined forces to inspire the next generation of innovators. In this year's sports and fitness-themed season, students across the globe will compete in robotics challenges, exploring what it means to be'forces for change'. The ongoing collaboration with FIRST allows Disney and Lucasfilm to expand access to science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) learning to more young people. Star Wars: Force for Change is a philanthropic initiative providing students with financial, in-kind and mentorship resources. Walt Disney Imagineering has provided sponsorship and mentorship to FIRST for more than two decades, offering educational opportunities featuring the characters, stories and experiences of Star Wars.
