2024 Competition


Lights, Camera, STEAM!

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) inspire big ideas, bold action—and creativity. Our skills make it possible to create art and experiences that bring us together, entertain us and move us. During the 2023–2024 FIRST® season, FIRST IN SHOW℠ presented by Qualcomm, we’re shining a spotlight on the role STEM plays in the arts and empowering young people to design and build a world of endless possibilities. The future is a place you will create.

In CRESCENDO℠ presented by Haas, two competing alliances are invited to score notes, amplify their speaker, harmonize onstage, and take the spotlight before time runs out. Alliances earn additional rewards for meeting specific scoring thresholds and for cooperating with their opponents.
