For both these reasons we now move up to the National Championships in London in March! At the Olympic Park we will face other regional champions and represent Dorset and the South West Region.
Once in a lifetime opportunity!
We seek funds to support our students in their once in a lifetime opportunity to win a place at the World FTC Championships in Michigan.
Our students have grown in confidence and ability and are fully using their new engineering, team-working and leadership skills to progress through this International Competition.

Help support this mainly girl team reach their dream and take part on the National Stage in the biggest STEM competition in the world.
