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.

In FIRST Tech Challenge, teams compete in the BIOBUZZ challenge, designing robots that interact with game elements while learning engineering, teamwork, and innovation.
