More than events

Young people deserve to be inspired by STEM like they’re at a music festival or sports event.

Where STEM meets sport

FIRST Tech Challenge UK is more than robots – it’s about soft skills, teamwork and community. Our free events provide a platform for young people to showcase their talent on a global stage.

“It’s the most inspiring, challenging, nail-biting tech competition you’ll ever see!”
