The reveal IS ON! What does that mean, you ask?!
Every September, First Tech Challenge does a big "reveal" of the upcoming season. So teams can start planning, strategizing and building.
This years theme is BioBuzz. Complete with nectar, flowers, gardens and hives that teams will need to tip to get points.

What will we build?? 🤔
Any guesses?

While the team is taking a quick break during the summer, we are looking to the future.
Our team is adding teammates, but we are also actively looking for two different mentors-
- Someone in the coding world to help our young coders learn and advance their skills
- A robotics engineer to give tips, advice, and feedback.

If you know anyone in either field, please send them our way! They do not have to be local, they can be anywhere in the world, as long as they're willing to talk with the team (video chat would be awesome!).

Thank you! Have a great week

We had a lot of fun at the home school market. Thank you to Jen for inviting us.Hope to see you next year!
