02 / ABOUT FIRST
FIRST is more than a robotics competition; it is a program that challenges students to design, build, program, and operate robots while learning teamwork, innovation, and problem-solving.
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a global robotics program where students design, build, program, and compete with robots in a season-long engineering challenge.
Teams work together to solve real problems, develop technical and teamwork skills, and showcase innovation through both competition and outreach.
03 / CURRENT SEASON
FIRST CANOPY is the 2026–2027 season theme for all FIRST programs, inspired by nature and the connections that protect our planet.
