During the INTO THE DEEP season, students will explore the complex ecosystems in the depths of the ocean, revealing its wonders, and learning how each inhabitant has a role to play in building a thriving environment. Teams will collaborate and innovate as they design, build, program, and operate robots to complete unique objectives in this ocean-inspired, thrilling head-to-head challenge.

In addition to gameplay, designing and building robots, FIRST Tech Challenge participants raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach to earn specific awards during the competition season.

Registration for the 2024-2025 INTO THE DEEP presented by RTX season is now open.
