What is FIRST® Tech Challenge?

FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC) is an international robotics competition for kids in grades 7-12. Teams are responsible for their own recruitment, fundraising, and operations. This aspect of FTC provides team members with experience in community service, marketing, management, and finance. Ultimately, FTC is a robotics competition, so team members will also learn how to design, build, program, and compete as a team.
