Sep 21, 2023 | 2023-2024 BTI Team Email Blasts

Greetings MA FTC Team Mentors,

We want to remind/inform you of the following events:

The Andover Robotics Club is proud to host the second Girls in Engineering and Robotics Symposium (GEARS) on Saturday,  September 30, 2023 at Andover High School, open to all FTC participants in gender minorities. This event gives the girls of FTC teams an opportunity to meet, network, and learn

The event has 3 tracks:  Role Models, What’s Next, and Technical Workshops and will have presenters from companies such as Raytheon, Dassault, and Mitre.  There is No Fee to Attend.

REGISTER TODAY to attend at  https://www.andoverrobotics.com/events/gears

Sunday, October 1 2023/Cambridge Science Festival – FTC Robotics Display and Showcase 

The Cambridge Science Festival Robot Zoo is returning in 2023 with a date of Sunday, October 1st!

Wolfpack Machina, GNCE, Pioneer, Team Unlimited, and one other MA FIRST Tech Challenge(FTC) team, will be demonstrating their robots using the POWERPLAY game.  This has been a really fun event in the past – both to run robots again on the game field and collaborate, and to show the public what FTC is all about.  Our group is usually the most visited part of the Robot Zoo with about 10,000 people coming through!

​Call to Action – 1 more Team Needed

We are looking for one (1) more team to participate in the event.  If you want to participate and get more details about what’s required, please contact:  Francis Schaeffer, Wolfpack’s coach, at [email protected].

NOTE: To participate a team needs a working POWERPLAY bot, and needs to be able to be present from 11am to 5pm on Sunday, Oct 1.

See event details at:  https://cambridgesciencefestival.org/

Saturday, December 2, 2023/FTC Team 12566 Showcase and Fundraiser Event at DCU Center

FTC Team 12566 AZTECHS will be hosting an evening at the DCU Center in Worcester!  The event will serve a dual purpose – not only as a fundraiser for teams – but also as a fantastic team bonding experience, all while enjoying a fun and social night at the game.   We are looking for 4-6 teams to join us.

For Full Details and Contact Information:  https://bostontechinitiative.org/event/ftc-team-night-at-the-dcu-center/

BTI Team Run Events Calendar:

We will add all future requests to share information on Team Run Events to our Team Run Events Calendar located at https://bostontechinitiative.org/events-calendar/category/team-run-events/month/.

If your team is running an event and wants to communicate it with the FTC community, please let us know, and we will get it posted!

Scrimmages: 

We are currently putting together the Scrimmages Schedule.  If your team/school plans on hosting a Scrimmage, please contact me (if you have not already) ASAP so we can get this on our calendar and into our event registration system.

Qualifiers:

We are still finalizing details on our remaining Qualifiers. Once finalized we will get into our Event Registration System.  Goal Date for Event Registration is mid-October.  We will finalize the exact date once our Qualifiers are all secured  – stay tuned for more details.

Thank you all and have a great day!

Warm Regards,

Deb
