Space Academy 3.0 is an open learning platform for FTC teams, created and maintained by Space Tech 23504. Everything here is free, community maintained, and written by people who have spent seasons in the pit with a laptop on their knees.
The goal is simple: give every team — rookie or veteran, funded or bootstrapped — the same quality of reference material. No paywalls, no gatekeeping, no scattered forum threads.
