Behind the Scenes Access - Thumb Wars - Discover FIRST Tech Challenge

About this event

You’re invited to an exciting opportunity to learn about FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and its impact on students, schools, and communities!

This isn’t your typical VIP event—here, VIP stands for Very Interested People —anyone passionate about empowering students through STEM education and mentoring.

This event is designed for:

• Potential mentors interested in inspiring the next generation

• School administrators supporting student development through STEM

• Local company leadership interested in workforce development opportunities

• Educators curious about starting a robotics program at their school

• School board members exploring engaging extracurricular activities for students

• Community organizations, like boys and girls clubs or scouting troops, looking to expand their programming

Meet your team at the main entrance by the Welcome Stand for a personalized tour where you can see your local FTC teams in action, learn about how they operate, and explore how you or your organization can get involved locally. Whether you’re an advocate for education, a community builder, or just curious about the world of robotics, this event is for you.

No prior experience with robotics is needed—just bring your enthusiasm to learn and grow with us!
