What's FIRST® and FTC?

FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a non-profit organization on a global mission to inspire young people to become science and technology leaders. They achieve this through engaging robotics programs for various age groups. FIRST offers three core programs: FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition.

FIRST® Tech Challenge students learn to think like engineers. Each year, when a new theme is released, teams design, build, and program robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. Robots are built from a reusable platform, powered by android technology, and can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming. This program goes beyond competition, encouraging students to develop STEM outreach initiatives and celebrate Gracious Professionalism®.

In the FIRST® Robotics Competition, students use sophisticated technology to build and program industrial-sized robots to play an alliance-based game on a themed field that changes every year. Beyond the competition itself, teams create an identity, raise funds, hone teamwork skills, and advance respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community.

Our mission

We have two primary goals: promoting STEM education and opportunities throughout Morocco to foster the next generation of Moroccan innovators, and bridging the gap in FTC participation. To achieve these ambitious goals, we will focus on the following:

Outreach and Awareness

We plan to conduct presentations and workshops at schools, both public and private, that introduce STEM and FTC.

Resource Development

We aim to create a library of FTC resources translated into French and Arabic as most existing resources are in English.

Career Exploration

We will offer STEM career paths presentations to increase awareness of the opportunities available to Moroccan students.
