The mission of the Maryland Tech Invitational (MTI) is to bring together FIRST® Tech Challenge teams from the region, nation and around the world who have demonstrated excellence in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) for a high quality competitive tournament.

The MTI is committed to supporting FTC teams' continuation in the program.  This is achieved by offering cash and in-kind awards to be used by teams in the following season.
