The FTC Program Staff is very proud of all teams, coaches, and mentors! 

At this year's World Championship, a new FTC award was given for the very first time.  The FIRST Tech Challenge Volunteer of the Year Award was given, with gratitude and program-wide support, to our very own Game Design Committee member, Joseph "Joe" Perrotto.  Joe has not only proven himself to be a vocal and ardent supporter of the FTC program, but has continually offered his dedication and assistance to numerous Affiliate Partners, events, teams, and mentors.  Thank you, Joe!

It is imperative that we recognize the hundreds of volunteers that made not only World Championship a success but also the entire season!  Without your hard work and dedication, none of our events would have been possible.  Thank you for making this the best season of FIRST Tech Challenge ever! 

Registration for the 2008 FTC season is expected to open in late May.  Please continue to check back for updates or changes.
