Bring computational thinking and the engineering design process to life with this robust robotics engineering curriculum where students will create a robot and utilize tools for self-growth in technical skill development and design.
In this year-long course, students will be immersed in completing a project that connects STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) topics to the real-world. Using the interactive curriculum, educators, and facilitators will guide students through the course and help them build teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Each semester of the course culminates in an event where students present what they've learned and use their robot to compete in a class mini-game based on the current season’s competitive challenge.
FIRST Tech Challenge Class Pack registration is closed for first-year Class Packs due to supply chain disruptions. Sign up to learn more about FIRST Tech Challenge Class Pack and be notified when registration opens for the 2023-2024 school year.
