More Than Events
Witness how we’re building more than robots at a FIRST Tech Challenge qualifying tournament in 2024
Get up close to the bots!
Since September, young people across the UK have been designing, building and coding robots to take on a global challenge. Now they will showcase their efforts, compete to earn industry judged awards and a coveted spot at the UK championship in June. If you’re curious how robots can engage employees, power talent pipelines and care passionately about young people’s futures – 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, Early Careers Programme Manager, Arm
