FIRST is growing in Vermont! 

The FTC kickoff event is open to the public as well as the whole FIRST in Vermont community. Invite your friends, neighbors, and nearby FLL and FRC teams.

FTC 7418 Batteries Not Included is hosting our northern kickoff on campus at UVM. Park at Votey Hall – parking is free on Saturdays, so don’t worry about a ticket – and it’s a short walk from there to Innovation Hall.
