TRCompetition

TRCompetition teams at TRC offer our students exciting and interactive opportunities to apply their classroom skills in a social environment, fostering close friendships. Team selection is by exclusive invitation, with priority given to students who have participated in our 2024-2025 TRClasses, TRCamps, and past teams. Any remaining spots will be filled subsequently. Team meetings will be held on Thursdays for classroom training and team practice. I am seeking a commitment for two semesters from all team members to ensure preparedness for the competitions and utilization of our resources. Additional meetings may be scheduled on Saturdays as required.

2024-2025

FIRST Robotics Season

JOIN OUR OCEAN-INSPIRED

ROBOTICS SEASON

EXPLORE THE FUTURE

FIRST is More Than Robots®. Our PreK-12 programs are designed to help all young people develop creative problem-solving, leadership, and communications skills. Supported by a network of mentors, educators, volunteers, sponsors, parents, and alumni in over 100 countries, the FIRST experience gives participants lasting inspiration and confidence to build a better future for themselves and their communities. The ocean is more than what you can see on the horizon. Beneath the surface lies our planet’s most complex ecosystems, full of life and potential for exploration and learning, where each inhabitant has a role to play in building a thriving environment.



During the 2024-2025 FIRST season, FIRST® DIVE℠ presented by Qualcomm, teams will use their STEM and collaboration skills to explore life beneath the surface of the ocean. Along the way, we’ll uncover the potential in each of us to strengthen our community and innovate for a better world with healthy oceans. Join us as we explore the future.
