Start a FIRST Tech Challenge Team

Starting a FIRST Tech Challenge team is relatively easy. The best advice is to learn about the program, find interested students, a few adults to be mentors, and proceed to nationally register the team. Teams exist in many different ways. Teams from as an after-school activity, as part of in-classroom curriculum, club activity such as 4-H or Scouts, a neighborhood or organization team.
