Good Luck Cactus Wren Teams!

 


It's time to play FREIGHT FRENZY!!!! Good luck to all the teams competing in this weekend's Cactus Wren Qualifier! Special thanks to Team 8081 Knights of the Lab Table and Gilbert Christian High School for hosting.
GO TEAMS!

Spectators at Arizona FIRST Tech Challenge Events

In an effort to keep everyone safe and to allow us to perform contact tracing should the need arise, we are using a new online waiver system for spectators at our events. All spectators will scan a QR code on entry and sign the form electronically. We do not need to collect additional information for volunteers, teams, or coaches, as we have this information available through the FIRST Registration system. If you know of spectators that will be attending this weekend's event, they can sign the waiver before arriving by clicking this link. This link is also available under the resource list on the Blog. Thank you for your cooperation as we endeavor to have our events feel as "normal" as possible


Reminder: Qualifier Payment is due December 3

Please remember to submit your payment (or PO at the very least) for your qualifers by December 3. Now that tournament season is underway, we need your entry fees to run the events! If your team needs financial assistance, teams can still apply for the Registration Relief Grant from the CocoNuts here. 



You can watch the action from the Cactus Wren Qualifier on the Live Stream! Thank you CocoNuts for providing the stream, and good luck teams! 


2022 FIRST® Championship Update 

This season, FIRST® teams will compete in a single season-culminating FIRST Championship event, to be held in Houston, April 20-23, 2022, with modified advancement criteria for teams coming soon. Please note the location of your “home” Championship will not be a factor in eligibility. We will share more details on advancement by mid-December. Read more about our plans in our November 12 update posted on firstchampionship.org. 


DonorsChoose Funding Available   

Thanks to generous support from Disney, educators in the United States can create DonorsChoose projects to fund FIRST in their classrooms. If your team needs additional tools or LEGO resources, learn more about teacher eligibility and how to create your project.
