WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT
The First tech challenge teaches students to think like real engineers.
Teams, divided into alliances, will compete with robots designed,
built and programmed entirely by them.
Here you will find all the webinar dates dedicated to discovering the competition, don’t miss them!
Recordings will also be present in case you miss any.
FIRST competitions are true team sports that require training, coordination and team spirit to achieve great results.
Suitable for every field of study starting from secondary school
Participants experience roles in a wide variety of fields, technical and non-technical.
Hours completed by students participating in competitions, including as mentors or volunteers, can be certified as PCTO.
Core values are the foundation on which all FIRST programs are based, developing team-building skills, collaboration and stmoling the creation of active communities on the ground.
A ROBOTIC CHALLENGE
The FIRST Tech challenges teams each year in designing in building and
programming robots will compete head-to-head on the competition field.
Theme
Having robots dive into the depths of the ocean to discover its wonders is this year’s Theme “INTO THE DEEP”
Missions
The race is based on a series of missions that the robot must complete in 2 1/2 minutes.
Teams compete in alliances that
change each round.
Race Course
The Robot Game 2024-2025
will be revealed on September 7!
REV robots can be programmed with languages that vary in difficulty. From a simple block language similar to Scratch, to Javascript and or C++.
It is also possible to use and train artificial intelligence models to optimize autonomous phases.
An important part of the process is being able to tell and explain the choices that were made by the team during the preparation for the race.
TEAM AND COMMUNITY BUILDING
The challenge on the competition field is just the last step. The real
test lies in the course, where students with the help of
a coach will discover the value of commitment and
collaboration. Each team as a representative of the
FIRST values shall:
Outreach: each team must share its journey and acquired skills with the whole community so that it can become a value to all.
Website and social: knowing how to present oneself today has become crucial; each team will need to prove its communication skills: creating a website, devising the team's brand and documenting the journey.
Fundraising: as FIRST we are committed to seeking funding that can enable all teams to participate in the program. Equally each team is required to engage in fundraising for participation in the competition (purchasing materials, travel, gadgets).
During the 2024-2025 FIRST® DIVE℠ season, presented by Qualcomm, teams will use their expertise to explore life beneath the ocean surface. Along the way, we will discover the potential in each of us to strengthen our community and innovate for a better world with healthy oceans. Join us as we explore the future.
