Our STEM Club supports FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) teams in collaboration with Blue Heron Middle School, OCEAN, and Chimacum Schools. FTC is the third tier of competition in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) provided for 7th – 12th grade students. The robots for 2025 have to not exceed 18inches and have functionality to shoot ARTIFACTS into target, pick up/collect ARTIFACTS, and maneuver both manually (drivers) and autonomously (coded with sensors).
