ROBOTICS PROGRAMS
FIRST Technical Challenge
Ages 12-18 | Grades 7-12
FIRST® Tech Challenge students work together with their mentors to design and build dynamic robots to compete in an exciting game released every September. On and off the field, students develop STEM skills, engage in community outreach, practice engineering innovation, and build confidence to help them succeed.
Get Started with FIRST® Tech Challenge
Students ages 12-18 (grades 7-12) design and build a competitive, dynamic robot from a kit of parts. A yearly themed robotics game brings a new challenge and exciting learning opportunities to collaborate and problem-solve year after year.

FIRST® Robotics Competition
Ages 14-18; Grades 9-12
Starting with a Kit of Parts, teams of high school students design, program, and build industrial-sized robots to play an action-packed game, released in January. They compete on a themed field as part of a three-team alliance in the spirit of Coopertition®. In 360-degree learning guided by adult mentors, each FIRST® Robotics Competition team also creates a team identity, raises funds to meet its goals, and advances appreciation for STEM in its community.
