BSU has graciously opened the Adrian Tinsley Center to accommodate 24 FIRST Tech Challenge teams. The Adrian Tinsley Center is an NCAA basketball and volleyball venue with seating for 1000 spectators creating a perfect stage for a FIRST Tech Challenge tournament field. In Addition, two multipurpose courts provide ample space for 24 pit areas.
Parents and Mentors will be able to take a bus tour of the BSU campus followed by a guided tour of the new science building. The tour bus will leave promptly at 9:00 AM and return in time for the opening ceremonies! Thank you Bridgewater State University!
