FTC - First Tech Challenge 

The 2025-2026 FTC "Decode" game will be released on September 6, 2025.

It’s way more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams (up to 15 team members, grades 6-12 nationally, 6-8 in Michigan) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.

Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team.

Please see the FTC Application page (linked above) for more information, including the sign-up link.

All FTC teams are coached by parents and mentors. All FTC teams will practice out of Adams High School and Van Hoosen Middle School, on Mon/Weds or Tues/Thurs.  They will also be leveraging AdamBots faculties, student mentors, and equipment.
