2. FTC Invoices

Because of the issues we had with invoicing, we have been flexible with payments to help make sure all teams are able to participate. For the Interleague Championship events, you will need to be sure your invoice has been paid to be able to compete.

3.  Java for Robots (EV3)

FTC & FRC Coaches/Mentors

The below Java for Robots (EV3) professional development at the FIRST Washington Fieldhouse in Kent on January 23 would equip you teach students the Java curriculum used for FTC & FRC, but on the less expensive (and more plentiful, so more students have their own robots while learning to code) EV3 robot.

Java for Robots (EV3) provides a path to text-based programming for the EV3, leading to skills needed for FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST Robotics Competition, as well as advanced programming classes like AP Computer Science or Computer Science Principles. Participants walk-thru the free Java for Robots EV3 (Robo102) curriculum and earn 7 STEM clock hours for this workshop. Upcoming workshop in Kent (Jan 23).
