FIRST Tech Challenge

 

 

FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) teams consist of students grades 7th-12th. Teams design, build, program, and compete with robots against other teams to learn engineering and teamwork principles. At competitions, they complete in a head-to-head alliance format. Students learn communication, business, and leadership skills as they fundraise, market their team brand, and complete community outreach. Mentors guide the students as they learn and develop these engineering and life skills. There are numerous volunteer and mentor opportunities in the Ames area that Iowa State students can help with!
