The Championship
Witness how we’re building more than robots by joining us at Cambridge University Sports Centre for the 2024 FIRST Tech Challenge UK Championship
More than a championship
On Friday, 21 June 2024, the world’s largest student robotics movement returns to Cambridge! 500 young innovators and their robots will go head-to-head on the game field and present to industry judges as they compete to be crowned FIRST Tech Challenge UK Champions.
Perhaps you’re an employer wanting to smash employee engagement and drive a talent pipeline. An educator keen on bringing robotics to your setting. Or simply passionate about the potential of technology to empower young lives. Whatever your motivation, join us for an afternoon of robots, role models and high octane competition.
“The most rewarding moment has been seeing the passion, enthusiasm and energy from the students. They’ve engaged in the task, adapted to overcome and really put their heart and soul into the competition. It’s been breathtaking.”
Rob Leeman, Education Solutions Manager, Arm
