PTC's Support for FIRST is Cornerstone of Corporate Social Responsibility Program
PTC has announced its continued support of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) answering the call to promote science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) educational opportunities. PTC will sponsor over 85 FRC teams, 23 FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) teams, and 14 FIRST LEGO League teams during the current 2011-2012 season building on previous years of support.
Jon Dudas, President, FIRST said, "PTC is a fantastic Strategic Partner of FIRST. As a company, they are fully committed to the values of FIRST and share our goal of helping students develop skills to become tomorrow’s innovators and engineers. PTC provides the same CAD and Collaboration software for students used by more than 27,000 global manufacturing companies, allowing students to develop the engineering skills that are in high demand."
FIRST has designed accessible, innovative, mentor-based STEM programs reaching more than 294,000 students in grades K-12 annually. These programs inspire young people to think, design and create something physical using their engineering knowledge and skills. As a Strategic Partner to FIRST, PTC provides free software, including Creo, Mathcad and Windchill, to all participating FIRST teams. Offering Windchill in the cloud to FIRST FRC and FTC teams since 2008 has allowed thousands of students to collaborate on their designs anytime, anywhere.
