FIRST Tech Challenge also known as FTC is at its simplest a competition for building robots to complete tasks. In reality it is so much more. FIRST stands for ‘For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology’, something everyone gains. FTC is where 7th to 12th graders can design, build, program, and operate robots while learning valuable skills along the way in a competition. In addition, to quote their website, “FIRST is a global robotics community preparing young people for the future and the world's leading youth-serving nonprofit advancing STEM education.” FTC is also a great extra-curricular, providing great opportunities and over 80 million in scholarships. Using Java based programming and being powered by Android technology, robots will test the limits of performance, efficiency, and endurance. FTC is a great way to enhance learning and a passion for robotics.
