FIRST Tech Challenge - Carolinas Premier Event

The Carolinas Premier Event (CPE) offers a competitive edge with at least double the standard number of matches per team, additional award categories, social events, and a strategic twist to gameplay designed to challenge even the most seasoned teams.

CPE celebrates creativity, collaboration, and community. It is orchestrated by the planning committee which has traditionally organized the LOKI FIRST Tech Challenge offseason event. Held annually in North Carolina, LOKI has been a place where innovation thrives, friendships form, and participants gain not only technical skills but also unforgettable memories and a stronger connection to the FIRST community.

Retaining some of the heritage from LOKI, the Carolinas Premier Event provides opportunities for all FIRST Tech Challenge teams to experiment boldly, refine skills, and share ideas in an inclusive and supportive environment. Whether rookie teams or seasoned competitors, all participants are empowered to push boundaries and excel.

This year's Carolinas Premier Event will take place from July 25th through July 27th at Salem Academy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
