What is FTC?
The FIRST Tech Challenge is one of 4 programs offered by FIRST, an international robotics organization. Every season teams of 7-12th grade students are challenged to construct a robot capable of participating in a highly competitive field game. After designing, building, and coding a functional robot, teams compete in three regional qualifiers, each offering an opportunity to advance to the State Champions. From the Sate Championship tams have the opportunity to advance to FTC Worlds, the highest level of competition. FIRST highly encourages friendly team interaction and sportsmanship which is embodied in their motto: "Gracious Professionalism."

Our Approach to FTC:
Our club’s approach to the FIRST Tech Challenge competitions may be slightly different than other teams. While we desire to build a competitive robot, we also want to teach our students important skills that will be beneficial to their future success. Therefore, significant time has been spent developing learning activities that have focused on the engineering process, programming principles, and marketing concepts. Our team also focus on the 4 C's of 21st century learning; Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication. For more information on our team's approach to FTC visit Our Philosophy
