More than events

Young people deserve to be inspired by STEM like they’re at a music festival or sports event.

More than a robotics competition

FIRST Tech Challenge UK is more than robots – it’s about soft skills, teamwork and community. Our free events provide a platform for young people to showcase their talent on a global stage.

“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, Educational Solutions Manager, Arm
