Guided by a group of devoted mentors and parents, TechFire is helping the York area become a center for the development of creative problem solvers who will make the world a better place.

FIRST is not just about robots. It's about finding a way to make a positive difference, whether it be as an engineer, programmer, artist, writer, etc. Service along with opportunities for hands-on, real-world learning which occur naturally during the process of building a competition robot, is what FIRST is about. Creativity, Collaboration, and Character are key take-aways and are the qualities that will empower students to build a brighter future.

TechFire operates as a non-profit relying on sponsors to fund our $35k+ annual budget. Students experience real life problem solving, project management and teamwork through these programs. Highly recognized within the FIRST community, TechFire 225 has been successful at the World Championship level for the last five years.
