Bosch Sponsors New Hampshire FIRST Tech Challenge State Championship
Students designed, built, and programmed robots based on engineering principles
WATERTOWN, Mass. — Bosch Thermotechnology Corp. sponsored the New Hampshire FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Tech Challenge (FTC) State Championship on Feb. 2 at Southern New Hampshire University, demonstrating the company’s commitment to fostering STEM education initiatives that inspire future generations to innovate.
FTC is based on a sports model in which teams of students in grades 7 through 12 compete against each other. Students, coaches, mentors, and volunteers must develop a strategy and then design, build, and program their robots based on sound engineering principles. The robot kit is reusable from year to year and is programmed using a variety of coding languages.
