St John Fisher Catholic College is an 11-18 school in Newcastle-Under-Lyme. Run collaboratively across our science, computing and DT departments, we’ve taken part in every season of FIRST Tech Challenge UK and have loved every minute. As a Champion Org, we are looking forward to helping to spread the message of FIRST and supporting teachers, mentors and teams to fully engage with not only the competition but the mission of FIRST.
As a hub, we want to encourage more schools and youth organisations to take part in the challenge, while also building links with local industry. We are most excited to start conversations with schools in our region about the challenge and support them as they find out what it means when we say that.

The bedrock of FIRST Tech Challenge UK. These experienced organisations act as outreach partners, provide support to teams and serve as training and event venues – helping us maximise our impact regionally.
We build More Than Robots
We use robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive, empowering young people to make informed choices about their future.
