FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is for students in grades 8-12. This program lets you dive into all the cool aspects of robotics, from welding and fabrication to computer programming. Just like in the real world, our future engineers, machinists, and designers also need support with marketing and promoting the team. There’s a spot for everyone!
Our goal is to spark and grow your interest in robotics through hands-on production, management, and competitions. Throughout the season, you’ll also pick up valuable skills like public speaking and teamwork.
The program runs from September to the end of April. Registration for the new season opens on July 1 and continues until the game is released in early January. The game release kicks off six weeks of intense planning, building, practicing, and programming. After that, the team usually competes in 2-3 events and, if they advance, participates in Provincials with their goal set on attending Worlds, currently held in Houston, Texas. During the off-season, you’ll learn new building skills, fundraise, and join off-season competitions when available.
