Forty of the best and brightest high school robotics teams will be  
competing in this two-day event. Come out and cheer on your favorite team  
and/or learn more about bringing FIRST Robotics programs to your community.

FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sports with the  
rigors of science. Under strict rules, limited resources, and the guidance  
of volunteer mentors including engineers, teachers, business professionals,  
parents, alumni and more, teams of 25+ students build and program robots to  
perform challenging tasks against a field of competitors. Teams must also  
raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and perform  
community outreach. In addition to learning valuable STEM and life skills,  
participants are eligible to apply for $80 million in college scholarships.

FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is the the ultimate sport for the mind  
amoung high-school student participants and call it “the hardest fun you’ll  
ever have.”

Visitors can see how teams used limited time and resources to design a  
team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size  
robots to play a difficult basketball-sized field game against like-minded  
competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering sport as you can get.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
