The program offers a comprehensive, team-based approach to robotics, combining technical skill development with opportunities for leadership, community outreach, and potential college scholarships through the FIRST Tech Challenge.
The Summer FTC Robotics Program by Minnesota STEM Partnership offers middle and high school students (grades 7-12) an immersive experience in robotics and engineering. Participants will engage in designing, building, and programming robots for competition. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to develop practical skills in mechanics, electronics, and various levels of Java-based programming. Beyond technical skills, the program fosters teamwork, problem-solving, critical thinking, and leadership. Students also gain experience in areas such as fundraising, marketing their team brand, and community outreach. The program aims to prepare students for real-world engineering challenges and provides opportunities to apply for college scholarships through the larger FIRST Tech Challenge initiative.
A typical day involves students collaborating to design, build, and program robots, guided by adult coaches and mentors.
This program is ideal for middle and high school students (grades 7-12) interested in hands-on STEM experiences, particularly in robotics, engineering, and programming, who also want to develop teamwork and leadership skills.
