2026–27 City Partner Opportunity

Bring FTC & FLL to Your City.

Build a local robotics ecosystem. Create a sustainable STEM ecosystem. Inspire the next generation of innovators.

One city. One operating partner. Two world-class robotics programs.
Two complementary programs

A pathway from early discovery to advanced robotics.

FIRST® Tech Challenge and FIRST® LEGO® League combine hands-on STEM, robotics, teamwork and innovation to help students progress toward advanced engineering and competitive robotics.

FIRST® Tech Challenge

An advanced competitive robotics program where older students design, build and program robots while developing engineering, programming, strategic thinking, collaboration and project-management skills.
