FIRST at Caterpillar

To drive our future in innovation, Caterpillar is taking an active role to combat the decline of college graduates in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. One proven way we are building our STEM pipeline of future engineers and technical experts is through the support of FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). Caterpillar is proud to partner with FIRST in a mission to inspire others to become innovators, leaders and problem solvers.
