  • Competitions in STEM and Robotics

Competitions

Whether it's an in-class, inter/intra-school, district, state, national or international competition, Kookaburra has you covered with our range of STEM, Robotics and Technology Solutions.

FIRST® TECH CHALLENGE

FIRST® Tech Challenge is designed for high school students (aged 14-18 years) to compete head to head, using a sports model. Teams are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments.

Students get to:

  • Design, build, and program robots
  • Apply real-world maths and science concepts
  • Develop problem-solving, organizational, and team-building skills
  • Compete and cooperate in alliances and tournaments
  • Compete for a spot in the World Championship
  • Qualify for over $13.5 million in international university scholarships

The FIRST® Tech Challenge season opens in September with the release of that year's game, and teams then have until December to prepare before the Australian National FIRST® Tech Challenge tournament.  The best teams from the national tournament are then chosen to represent Australia at the FIRST® World Championships in Saint Louis, USA.
