Volunteer Information for 2026

We are looking for members of the community who want to have a direct impact on promoting STEM education in Maine and New England. They can do so by assisting in the NEFIRST Southern Maine and/or Pine Tree District Robotics Competitions.

There are many aspects to running events like these where your presence will be an invaluable service to the teams and attendees. We are looking for many volunteers to fill various positions, helping to provide a safe and exciting competition for the teams, community, and others who stop in to watch.
