Introduction to FIRST Tech Challenge
This week introduces FIRST Tech Challenge from the ground up: what the program is, how events and matches are organised, and what judges look for beyond the scoreboard. You will set up your team's roles, learn the safety habits and Gracious Professionalism that every FTC team is expected to show, and practise the engineering design process. By the end of the week your team will have a clear structure and a first engineering plan for the season.
