By participating in the FTC program, students will:

​

 

  • Develop advanced STEM skills by designing, building, and programming classroom-scale robots to solve complex, real-world challenges.

  • Build and program autonomous and driver-controlled robots, applying coding, sensors, and strategy in dynamic two-on-two matches.

  • Apply the engineering design process through research, prototyping, testing, and iteration.

  • Grow as team members and leaders by collaborating, planning, and making decisions under real competition conditions.

  • Build resilience, responsibility, and confidence through hands-on problem-solving, iteration, and competitive play.

  • Learn and practice FIRST Core Values: Discovery · Innovation · Impact · Inclusion · Teamwork · Fun

 

 

Most importantly, students learn how to think critically, code purposefully, work as part of a team, and rise to challenges - skills that prepare them for success in high school, college, and future STEM careers.​​​​​​
