What is FTC?

 

FTC stands for First Tech Challenge and is more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.

About FTC

Anyone welcome!

​

FIRST Tech Challenge welcomes every student, with or without special skills.  Teams need all kinds of skills to succeed. You will gain experience in programming, electronics, metalworking, graphic design, web creation, public speaking or videography. 

What do FTC Teams do?

​

FIRST Tech Challenge teams get to: 

  • Design, build, and program robots

  • Apply real-world math and science concepts

  • Develop problem-solving, collaboration, and team-building skills

  • Build and become strong leaders

  • Understand and practice Gracious Professionalism™

  • Cooperate and compete in alliances at tournaments

  • Compete for awards on and off the field

  • Participate in a tiered competition that culminates at the FIRST Championship

  • Qualify for millions of dollars in college scholarships

  • Have fun!

HARD WORK PAYS OFF!

 

Our team will be competing in two events this year.  The January event will be at Kent State University and the February event will be at Tri-C Community College.  During this event qualifying teams compete for awards and a spot in the FIRST Championship.

 

Events at every level offer students an amazing experience as they celebrate their hard work, have fun, make new friendships, and are exposed to ideas and ideology that will enhance their lives for decades to come.

 

Every participant is eligible to apply for college scholarships!
