This resolution expresses support for creating a “National FIRST Robotics Day” to be celebrated across the United States . It highlights For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Robotics and supports designating the third Friday of every March for this observance . The goal is to raise awareness of hands-on science and technology learning and to celebrate students who build and compete with robots . Students, schools, youth programs, and community groups are the primary audiences, as the day encourages local events and recognition of their work . The measure does not create new programs or rules; it simply encourages recognition and celebration on that day . No specific costs or funding are mentioned in the available documents .
