About FTC

First Tech Challenge teams are made up of 7-8 graders in Eden Prairie. Our FTC teams are run primarily by students of Talon, with parent support. Parental support is needed to keep teams running. If you can offer support, we’d greatly appreciate it! FTC aims to provide students with skills in design, building, and teamwork! Students in FTC will learn essential skills not only for FRC if they choose to continue along this path but for any area of life.

Talon Robotics students mentor FTC teams, working with them at least 2 days a week and attending competitions.  FTC teams in Eden Prairie are from Central Middle School in grades 7 and 8. Student Mentors encourage their teams to follow their best ideas, and while doing so student mentors assist with programming and design challenges.

If you have a student that is interested in participating if FTC. Please reach out to [email protected] or visit the FIRST Team Dashboard.
