SOLIDWORKS Supports FIRST Tech Challenge Teams



It�s time to roll out our support for the FIRST Tech Challengeteams for the 2018-2019 school year.  Apply for sponsorship for your FIRST Tech Challenge team directly from SOLIDWORKS. 

Last year, SOLIDWORKS sponsored the first FIRST Robotics Competition Regional in Istanbul, Turkey, and then attended the FIRST Championships. In April, we were so excited to see hundreds of teams descended on Detroit, Michigan and Houston, Texas. Students from around the world competed in some of the most exciting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) events: The FIRST Championships. We visited with many FIRST Tech Challenge teams. Team 4347 Nano Gurus impressed us with their robot design. The Nano Gurus explained how they used SOLIDWORKS to create the models of their robot.







We also met with international team 14183 from the Netherlands to talk about their 3D printed robot components. Our support and celebration for FIRST teams continues, and we were so excited to receive such a great thank you package from the Space Cookies FIRST teams. 




Now, the time has come to help the FIRST teams who will compete in the #FIRSTLaunch2019 challenges! Applications for SOLIDWORKS sponsorships are nowopen and available to FIRST teams and all other student teams, and the perks are pretty sweet.

Among the awesome products teams sponsored by SOLIDWORKS receive are:
The access to MySolidWorks Professional is especially awesome, as it includes over 600 product tutorials, students can start early on the path towards a future in engineering!

Apply for sponsorship for your FIRST Tech Challenge team directly from SOLIDWORKS! SOLIDWORKS is proud of all the teams that competed in the FIRST programs this year, and we are thrilled to see what all the teams do in the coming competition season!


We also invite all FIRST teams hosting outreach sessions try out SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids for young designers ages 4-14.

We can�t wait to help teams, old and new, reach for the stars and help make their dreams come true!

AndyMark Will Now be the Source for New FTC Fields and Game Elements

FIRST Tech Challenge is excited to partner with AndyMark on Field and Game Elements for the 2014-2015 Season.  That means you no longer have to build a practice field, but can purchase one from AndyMark and have it shipped to you after Kickoff (no Team pre-orders!). They will offer teams a full or half field option and each kit comes with the Field Setup elements and Game Elements. Don't worry, you can still build a field if you want to! But what will they be? Each year, the Game Design Committee drums up a new element that presents a variety of manipulation challenges for teams to overcome. They've chosen wiffle balls, rings, two varieties of racquet balls, hockey pucks and batons, to name a few.  Since elements are different from year to year, teams must redesign their robots each season to accommodate the new item and the scoring objectives. What do you think this year's element will be?  Leave your guesses below and go to a kickoff event , or go to www.usfirst.org/ft
