WHAT IS THE KICK-OFF?

​The North Carolina FTC® Season Kickoff is a wonderful place for friends new to NC FTC® , Rookie and Veteran teams to come and learn more about this season's Challenge, attend detailed training workshops, and network with other teams.  The NC FTC® Planning Committee along with veteran coaches, volunteers, and teams will be on hand to assist with any questions you may have about becoming apart of the NC FTC®  community.  Attending the workshops at the Kickoff is a great way to learn more about the program and to network with teams from around the state.
