The FIRST® Tech Challenge professional development course is designed for new and experienced teachers, facilitators, coaches, and mentors to enhance their overall FIRST® program knowledge, giving participants a strong understanding of how to implement all aspects of the program and how to achieve STEM learning objectives. In FIRST Tech Challenge, students learn to think like engineers. Teams design, build, and program robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams with a spirit of friendly competition. Many call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.” Participants in this course will walk in the footsteps of the students as they engage in these hands-on experiences and practice engineering principles such as keeping an engineering notebook.
