Those who are maturing in FLL and like to consider FTC as next step, here are some information that can help – 



* FTC is for students in grades 7-12 and is quite different than FLL in that it’s more on robot build and programming (Java/Android based programming on much bigger robot with metal, electronics, electrical wires, etc.) 



* There’re lots of online resources for transitioning. Two workshops are scheduled this summer in VA, focusing on the new programming platform (introduced last season):



    1)  FTC Programming Workshop 

         Sat, July 16 (Richmond area - Mechanicsville)

         Instructor: Matt Glennon and Matt Schubert 

         (Few seats are still available)



    2) FTC Android/JAVA Programming Workshop

        Sun, Aug 14 (Northern Virginia area - Fairfax) 

        By FTC team 9901 "Techie Titans", Inspire Award 2nd place winner from 2016 Virginia State Championship
