By funding this grant, the FTC robotics team was able to design and build a new robot to tackle this year’s unique challenge and compete for a spot at the World Championship. FTC challenges students to solve problems, score points, and win matches through innovative and collaborative design. Beyond competition, the program instills the principle of “gracious professionalism,” emphasizing respect, high-quality work, and community collaboration.
The robotics program integrates science, math, coding, and engineering, bridging classroom concepts with real-world applications. Students gain hands-on experience building and coding a physical robot, developing critical skills that prepare them for advanced classes and potential future careers in STEM fields.
This grant enabled the team to compete at a higher level, broadening their learning opportunities and reinforcing the practical applications of their classroom knowledge. By participating in FTC, students not only built a robot but also honed their teamwork, problem-solving, and innovation skills, setting them up for success in future endeavors.
