Social Support Our Local Teams at the Florida FTC Championship!

Dear SIM Central Florida Members,

We are excited to share that we’ve been invited to support our local robotics teams at the Florida Statewide FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Championship on March 7, 2026.

Winners from this event will advance to the U.S. National Championships, and we are incredibly proud that the two teams SIM Central Florida helps sponsor — Team Super 7 and Team Z.I.P. Ties — will be competing!

There is no charge to attend as a guest, and you are welcome to come and go as your schedule allows.

Event Details:

• Date: March 7, 2026 
• Time: 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM (All-day event)
• Location: AdventHealth Fieldhouse and Conference Center, 210 Cypress Gardens Blvd, Winter Haven, FL

The morning sessions will feature regular qualifying matches. If you’re looking for high-energy competition and suspense, the afternoon elimination rounds bring even more excitement as teams battle for a spot at Nationals.

FIRST Tech Challenge develops the critical thinking, collaboration, engineering, and leadership skills that define the next generation of technology professionals. Supporting these students aligns directly with SIM’s mission to connect and empower technology leaders — today and tomorrow. 

If your schedule allows, we encourage you to attend, cheer on our teams, and show the strength of the Central Florida technology community.

We hope to see you there!
