Be a part of a global community of student inventors, programmers, and engineers.
The FIRST Tech Challenge is an international robotics competition for all-girls aged 12 to 18, where the task is to design and build a robot to compete against other teams in a game themed around a current issue.
This year’s theme is FREIGHT FRENZY™ - the goal is to deliver game pieces from one end of the playing field to the other as quickly as possible while trying to collect bonus points and block the other team.
This year, The STEAM Project is sponsoring 4 teams representing Bayview Secondary School, TMS School, St. Theresa of Lisieux Catholic High School and Richmond Hill High School. Each team will have weekly meetings at their state-of-the-art makerspace where you will have access to tools, tech, mentors and a practice arena!
Additionally, each team is open to elementary school students in grades 7 and 8, who are currently enrolled in a feeder school of one of our high school teams. This is a valuable opportunity for elementary students to gain experience in robotics while working alongside older students!
The STEAM Project teams welcome all girls of all skill levels, willing to learn and share their skills.
Join a build team or pit crew, or as a programmer, driver, speaking representative, or designer!
