Who are we?
We are a group of Fort Richmond Collegiate students who came together to participate in FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). We are motivated to design, build, and program robots to win competitions, but we also aim to inspire an interest in STEM among students within Manitoba.
As one of three teams in Manitoba, we hope to guide and mentor other teams in their journey into robotics.
What is FIRST Tech Challenge?
It's way more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams (up to 15 team members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.
Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team.
The robot kit is reusable from year to year and can be coded using a variety of levels of graphical and Java-based programming.
Teams design and build robots, raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach to earn specific awards.
Each season concludes with regional championship events and an exciting FIRST Championship!
Why is FIRST Tech Challenge important?
Students get to:
- Learn from professional engineers
- Build and compete with a robot of their own design
- Learn and use sophisticated software and hardware
- Compete and cooperate in alliances and tournaments
- Earn a place in the World Championship
- Qualify for over $80 million in scholarships
FIRST Alumni are:
- 2.0× more likely to declare a major in Engineering
- 2.1× more likely to declare a major in Computer Science
