FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge)

The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a robotics competition where students, typically ages 12 to 18, design, build, and program small robots to complete specific tasks. Teams work collaboratively over several months, applying engineering principles and problem-solving skills. During events, robots compete in challenges such as navigating courses or manipulating objects, earning points for their performance. The program emphasizes STEM learning, teamwork, and innovation, encouraging students to develop technical and leadership abilities. FTC aims to inspire young people to pursue careers in science and technology while fostering creativity and perseverance.
