The Program

What is FIRST Tech Challenge?

FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a competitive robotics program where middle school students design, build, and program robots to complete field challenges each season. Teams develop engineering principles, coding skills, teamwork, and problem-solving in a hands-on environment — preparing them for the challenges of high school, college, and beyond.

About Euclid's Engineers

Euclid's Engineers is the middle school robotics team at Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy. As FTC Team 31683, our students collaborate to design robots, write code, and compete in FIRST Tech Challenge competitions. We emphasize learning, creativity, leadership, and confidence while preparing students for future STEM opportunities — and eventually, the FRC team.
