First Tech Challenge
The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is designed for students in grades 7–12 to compete head to head. Teams are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots in a 10-week build period to compete in an alliance format against other teams. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments. The ultimate goal of FTC is to reach more young people with a lower-cost, more accessible opportunity to discover the excitement and rewards of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

OutreachWe love to participate in community activities. This year we participated in parades in Fort Dodge, Gowrie, and Farnhamville. We also set up a field and let fair gowers drive our robots at the Webster County Fair. Check it out by clicking the button below!
