FIRST Tech Challenge.
FIRST Tech Challenge.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a nonprofit organization that designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in STEM. The FIRST Tech Challenge is the third level of competition of the four tiers and consists of designing an inventive robot to compete with other teams' creations, and presenting a comprehensive strategic / development plan while developing skills in hardware, software, and entrepreneurship. Most importantly, the organization values the concept of Gracious Professionalism in order to ensure that the FTC is not only competitive, but fun, too.
