FTC Washington State Championship
We are two weeks away from the FTC Washington State Championship, which will take place at the Amazon Meeting Center in Seattle.
Almost all volunteer positions are filled for this event, but we do have room for a few more Judges! If you’re interested in joining, follow the steps below to sign up.
Remember, if your team is competing that event, you cannot Judge. If your team did not advance to the Championship, we highly reccomend Judging, as it’s a great way to learn how our highest caliber teams operate. There are only a few spots left, so sign up today!
