🤖⚙️ Calling all FTC students! Are you ready to take your robotics skills to the next level? The Minnesota STEM Partnership invites you to join us for the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) season!

What is FRC?

FIRST Robotics Competition is the ultimate high school robotics challenge where teams design, build, and program industrial-sized robots to compete in intense alliance-based competitions. FRC builds on the foundation you've gained in FTC with more complex engineering challenges, larger-scale robots, and opportunities to develop advanced technical and leadership skills that will serve you throughout your academic and professional careers.

Why Transfer Your Skills to FRC?

Your FTC experience has prepared you perfectly for this next step! The programming, mechanical design, and teamwork skills you've developed will transfer directly to FRC, while you'll gain exposure to more sophisticated systems, industry-standard tools, and collaboration with engineering mentors. This is your chance to amplify everything you've learned and build something truly extraordinary.

Registration Information⬇️

Parents, we need your involvement! Please help your students register for the FRC season at register.mnstempartners.org. Early registration ensures your student has the best experience possible and helps our teams plan effectively.

Stay Connected📧 [email protected]

Students and parents, remember that early information and important updates are always available through our membership portal at membership.mnstempartners.org. Stay informed and never miss an opportunity!
