FTC was originally geared towards High Schoolers as a way to provide a more accessible and affordable program. With the growing number of middle schoolers and sometimes elementary schoolers getting involved with FLL early, they are finding that by the time they reach 7th and 8th grade, these students have developed the skills and knowledge to be able to successfully compete on a FTC team. So yes we are starting to see more and more middle schoolers competing on FTC teams.
