PTC Resources for Teams

Virtual College Fair for FIRST Students!

On November 12, FIRST^® partner Tallo is hosting a free virtual college fair specifically for FIRST students. We will introduce you to colleges who are looking for FIRST students because on your teams you have learned the skills and gained the necessary experience to be successful in the future. We’re using a new app, Ping by Tallo, to match you with colleges based on how your interests and preferences align with theirs. It’s a fast and easy way to learn about new schools who have great programs, choose who you want to connect with, and email their representatives a connection request. Sign up today! Choose the "FIRST Fair" when you sign up.

Youth Team Member Registration - Required this season

All youth team members are required to complete registration this season. If your students have already signed the consent form previously, they will need to complete the updated version (which has language specific for this season). Instructions for completing youth registration can be found here. 

Registration Now Open for Arizona FIRST Tech Challenge Qualifiers!

Arizona Teams can now register for their qualifying events. The registration form asks you to select three weeks that your team wants to compete in December, January, February and March. We will use your selections to assign your team to three remote events. Teams will have the option to switch from a remote event to an in-person event as conditions allow and as the events get closer. Teams will also be asked to let us know what type of field you will use for a remote event and who will be your official scorekeeper and referee for remote events.

Teams can also now apply for registration relief grants from the CocoNuts. These grants will be awarded to teams based on need every two weeks until their pool of money is depleted. The first date they will be selecting recipients is October 22, and teams who apply by that date will be notified the following week.

The tournament registration fee for each team is $200, which allows teams three qualifier plays. Payment is due in December. Invoices will be sent to teams indicating any grant money and the event selections. 

DON'T FORGET! Kickoff workshops are still available on the Blog for teams to view throughout the season!
