“FTC is designed for students in grades 7-12 to compete head to head, using a sports model. Teams are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments.”

FTC in Franklin

Franklin Public Schools currently supports STEM from 4K through grade 12 through the FIRST Lego League and FIRST Robotics Competition programs.

Although FTC is an amazing program itself, these two programs provide opportunities for all students, at all age and grade levels.
