FTC Team at the Northern VA Qualifier

The FIRST Chesapeake dba VirginiaFIRST 2017-18 season is off to a great start. Here are some highlights so far:

  •  We are at or over our goal for team enrollment for both the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) programs.
  • FIRST Chesapeake worked with and/or supported organizations that provided workshops, off-season scrimmages and matches across the district.
  • Our first 2 FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) qualifying events have taken place, and we look forward to the rest of the season. Due to overwhelming demand, we added an additional qualifier this season.
  • The FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC) Game Reveal, Kickoff, and Kit Pickup on January 6th is highly anticipated and will be celebrated at locations in DC, MD and VA.

We are always glad to welcome new volunteers- whether your skills ar technical or not, all are needed, and we would love for you to join us.  A qualifying tournament in the FIRST Robotics Competition or the FIRST Tech Challenge can require up to 100 volunteers each day. The Championships need more than 120 volunteers, both technical and non-technical, per day. https://www.firstchesapeake.org/volunteer

We appreciate the support of individuals and corporations who help us continue to do what we do best - build a strong and engaged community of future technology leaders in DC, Maryland and Virginia.
