Summary:
|
The District wishes to enter into an Agreement with Next Careers to be a league host for the 2021 FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). Student teams are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. During the competitions, students are also required to present to a judging panel. Teams also raise funds, design, and market their team brand, and do community outreach for which they can win awards. Students have access to tens of millions of dollars in college scholarships. Each season concludes with Championships and the possibility of moving on to the exciting FIRST World Championship.
Perris has been participating with FTC for eight (8) years now and has grown from three (3) teams to as many as 15, with up to 150 students participating district-wide.
Due to the concerns surrounding COVID-19 the local events at district sites will be held remotely this season unless the District, through guidance from state and local public health officials, determines that in-person events can take place.
The term of the Agreement shall be from October 22, 2020 through March 30, 2021.
