Join Wisconsin's top tech talent as teams of students in 9th-12th grade unlock the power of engineering to transform renewable energy and power a better future. At this regional event, you'll see students compete in the "Varsity Sport for the Mind" at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, but you'll walk away with far more opportunities:

  • Discover how FIRST Wisconsin Robotics is addressing the tech-talent shortage in the state,

  • Talk with like-minded youth-serving organizations and Wisconsin-based companies about how they engage with this pipeline of talent,

  • Learn about the importance of mentoring and how interested individuals from all walks of life can take part in mentoring these youth,

  • Meet with the students directly to discuss the business structures, branding, and sophisticated technology they use to build and program industrial-sized robots.

Witness students participating in the "hardest fun they've ever had" to compete in an action-packed, alliance-based game on a themed field. With professional mentors and sponsors, students learn engineering and problem-solving skills to apply to real-world situations. This is our future tech workforce. See them in action!
