District qualifiers are complete! The top half of the district is excited to be invited to the final act of our FIRST IN SHOW season here in New England!
University of New Hampshire hosted 37 FRC teams from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont. We were excited to hear from Dean of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences Cyndee Grunden to kick off our event!
