The 2025-2026 season, part of the FIRST AGE™ macro-theme, invites us on an archaeology-inspired adventure. Under the title DECODE™, teams will have to use their STEM skills to:
- Investigate the power of ancient artifacts: Every object on the playing field holds a story to be deciphered.
- Unlocking mysteries: Design, build and program robots that can collect, analyze and place strategic artifacts to “decode” the challenge.
- Building the Future: Today’s Engineering helps us understand yesterday’s innovations. The competition is a journey through the past, present and future of technology.
