FTC team #19366, CTF (Certified Tech Freaks) is a 2nd year FTC team. They are 1 of 2 teams from Indiana that advanced to the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in Houston, Texas. They were the first team to advance to the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP because they won the INSPIRE AWARD. The INSPIRE AWARD “...is given to the Team that best embodies the ‘challenge’ of the FIRST Tech Challenge program. The Team that receives this award is a strong ambassador for FIRST programs and a role model FIRST Team. This Team is a top contender for many other judged awards and is a gracious competitor. The Inspire Award winner is an inspiration to other Teams, acting with Gracious Professionalism® both on and off the Playing Field. This Team shares their experiences, enthusiasm and knowledge with other Teams, sponsors, their community, and the judges. Working as a unit, this Team will have shown success in performing the task of designing and building a Robot.”
The 2022 Season of PowerPlay presented by Raytheon Technologies started on September 10th. Since then, teams of middle and high school students from around the state and world have designed and built robots in order to complete the tasks presented to them.

Also, CTF had the amazing Emily Chase impress the Dean List judges & she earned a FIRST Dean’s List Finalist Award. She is a great leader who has led her team & communities to increase awareness for FIRST & its mission. She also has achieved personal technical expertise & accomplishment along the way. She now will compete at WORLDS in Houston, TX with other Dean’s List Finalists from around the world to decide the top 10 Dean’s List Winners.
