What is FIRST®?

FIRST® is a worldwide nonprofit organization that provides opportunities for students to compete in team robotics competitions. It empowers people ages 4-18 to design and build their own robots, plan outreach opportunities, request funding from sponsors, compete in tournaments, learn public speaking skills and problem solving, and participate in tournaments. FIRST® also gives participants the ability to learn more about career opportunities in the field of STEAM, which will aid them in seeking out a job in this field.

What is FTC?

Through FIRST® Tech Challenge, students learn valuable skills by participating in season-specific challenges using robots that they have created with their teammates. Teams fabricate robots from a mixture of custom-made and store-bought parts, then program the robots to complete a combination of automatic and driver-controlled tasks (partly paraphrased from the FIRST® Tech Challenge official website). More information can be found here.

This year's season is called DECODE™. For a concise explanation, please refer to FTC Team 25650 ONE SMALL STEP for an Axolotl's amazing one-pager here.
