Miami's First Tech Tournament for January 14 2023.

Miami is looking forward to hosting its First Tech event.  This event will conform as closely as possible to a regular tournament event to give the teams the tournament experience and practice.  We have a great group of volunteers ready to work with the teams to provide a successful, fun and safe event. 

Event details are in the links in the left navigation.

Questions can be mailed to firsttechmiami@miamioh.edu.

We look forward to seeing you all in January.

What is FIRST Tech Challenge?

It’s way more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams (up to 15 team members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.

Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team.

The robot kit is reusable from year to year and can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming. Teams design and build robots, raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach to earn specific awards. Participants are eligible to apply for $80M+ in college scholarships.
