Carolinas Premier Event

The Carolinas Premier Event (CPE) is a FIRST Tech Challenge capstone event that celebrates creativity, collaboration, and community. 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. 

Retaining some of the heritage from North Carolina's traditional LOKI offseason event, 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.

The 2025 Carolinas Premier Event will take place from July 25th through July 27th at Salem Academy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
