Attention all new FIRST Tech Challenge teams!
FIRST has just announced a 2014-2015 FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Rookie Grant. This grant is available for teams who have never participated in FTC before. The grant will help your team cover the costs of starting a basic teams ($275). This funding is limited and all the grants are awarded on through a need-based application process. By getting involved in FTC, students compete against other teams in a head-to-head robot challenge. Youth will master STEm skills, learn life skills such as teamwork, grow as students in STEM, and qualify for over 13.5 million dollars in scholarships available to FIRST students.
This grant is a great opportunity for first year teams and can help cut out some of the costs involved with FTC. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this rookie grant or how to start an FTC team in Nebraska. More information can also be found at http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc/grow
Thanks!
