The 2020-2021 FIRST Tech Challenge Season kicks off on Saturday, September 12 at 12:00PM. This season, FTC will be for students in 8th grade.
For the 2020-2021 Robotics season, it has been decided that with our options under our new reality, and the ability of the program to operate "normally" within COVID restrictions, we WILL NOT be participating in official competition. Instead, we are choosing to navigate our own path in which we can better serve our students safely, regardless of the operating conditions applied by FIRST or PennFTC to the competitions or season.
Although the 8th graders will not be able to participate in FTC in the typical fashion, we'd still like to provide them the opportunity to go through as much of the process as possible in a modified way. We will be using this year to dig deeper into the basics of FTC and robotics in general focusing on the Engineering Design Process, manipulators and attachments for different game elements, drive bases, and taking a look at game analysis using previous games.
Schedule
We will be meeting remotely using Microsoft Teams on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30. Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, October 6.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Debbie Musselman at dmusselman@team708.org.
