FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a robotics competition available for middle and high school students that promotes STEM, collaboration, and problem-solving through an engineering challenge. Each year, teams are presented with an engineering challenge of building, designing, programming, and operating a robot to play a new game every season. Teams receive a standard control system and parts; teams will also want to order motors, sensors, and expansion hubs to fulfill their objectives. Competitions require robots to undertake objectives autonomously and upon command by a driver. Competition begins with regional league meets and can progress through state, regional, and world championships based on performance. Teams are judged not only on their performance in competition but also on other factors such as their engineering portfolio, post-season outreach events, and examples of Gracious Professionalism and teamwork. While FTC provides students with opportunities to learn about robotics and programming, they also have the opportunity to learn about project management, communication, and innovation while competing in a collaborative environment.
