2025-2026 Season Robotics Teams Joint Recruitment

Curious about how robotics builds future-ready skills? Join us for a team info night where families can explore two exciting programs:

• FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC): Like a startup, FTC teams are small, limited to a maximum of 15 students, and fast-moving. Students take on multiple roles from designing and building to coding and outreach. It’s ideal for those who want to try a bit of everything and see the full process.

• FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC): More like a large company, without a size limit, FRC teams are bigger and more specialized. Students focus on specific roles such as mechanical design, programming, media, strategy, or fundraising while building a large-scale robot and managing a complex project.

Each team operates like a business, with its own goals, style, and leadership. This event offers the opportunity to visit team spaces, ask questions, and find the best fit for your student’s interests and learning style.

• Students in grades 7–12 interested in robotics, engineering, programming, or hands-on STEM
• Parents or guardians looking to support their child’s academic and career exploration
• Educators and mentors who want to connect students with competitive robotics opportunities
• New families and returning families curious about what’s next or how to get more involved
