We’re looking to fill three specific roles for the upcoming State Championship event! Click here to volunteer for the specific role:
FTC State Championship Field Risers:
We received two emails last week with questions regarding the 24in elevated fields at the Wisconsin State Championship. Over the past few days we reviewed the questions and compiled the answers into a quick summary.
This process gave us an opportunity to work with FTC Program Staff in addressing questions coming from teams in preparation for the FIRST Championship. With input from FTC Program Staff, Wisconsin Key Volunteers, and our PDPs the following Q&A style blog provides more details on the elevated fields and what the 2026 Wisconsin State Championship equipment looks like: https://www.firstinspireswi.org/post/wisconsin-state-cmp-raised-fields-q-a
The quickest way to ensure your questions are answered is by emailing FTC@firstinspireswi.org and ccing your PDPs.
FIRST Wisconsin staff does not actively monitor unofficial communication channels, and we’d hate to miss responding in a timely fashion to your question.
VIP Event at State!
FIRST Wisconsin, with support from Turtle Tek and the Youth Advisory Council, is pleased to be hosting a VIP event for teams to invite their “Very Important People” (sponsors, superintendents, principals, etc) and/or “Very Interested People” (Other school teachers who might want to start a team, local organizations to partner with, volunteer groups, potential program sponsors, etc.).
Please use the following link to share with your contacts and invite them to join us in Beloit! - https://www.firstinspireswi.org/event-details/26ftc-state-cmp-vip
