START A ROOKIE TEAM WITH GRANTS IN 3 STEPS


The premier middle school sport where teams of students, guided by mentors, design and build 18”X18” robots to battle in a FIRST designed game in a contest of ingenuity and innovation.

FIRST in Michigan operates a progression of programs which differs from FIRST national. Our model enables students to build upon the skills and experiences attained at one level then flow naturally to the next level without overlap. In Michigan, FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is the sole program for middle school students with teams comprised of middle school age/grade students.
