FTC - It is way more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams (10+ members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. Participants call it the hardest fun you will ever have! Guided by adult Coaches and Mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles (like keeping an engineering notebook), while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and sharing ideas. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and can be programmed using a variety of languages, including Java. Teams also must raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach for which they can win awards. Participants have access to tens of millions of dollars in college scholarships. Each season concludes with Super-Regional Championships and an exciting FIRST Championship.

The positive impact on FIRST Tech Challenge participants is gratifying and well documented. Over 86 % have more interest in doing well in school and 87 % are more interested in attending college. View impact resources 2016 FIRST Tech Challenge Impact Infographic FIRST Tech Challenge teams get to:
