Re: [FTC]: Hosting an FTC Event

Minnesota and there is no event down here. All of the teams around us have to drive to the twin cities (just like us).
For a 2015-16 Qualifier, you're going to need to apply this coming spring through High Tech Kids (HTK). http://www.hightechkids.org/ They are the FTC Affiliate Partner. They have an application packet.

For a scrimmage, HTK is also a valuable resource. I'd encourage you to sign up to volunteers at this year's qualifiers to learn the ropes. We can always use more adult and student volunteers.

Another contact is the MN FIRST Senior Mentor, Evan Hochstein ehochstein@usfirst.org. He can guide you to teams that can help.

Let me know if you need more help.
