  • Technical Mentors

    FIRST® Tech Challenge Teams and FIRST® Robotics Competition Teams

    Our greatest need is for dedicated engineering, computer science, and project management mentors to work with our students after school during FTC or FRC build seasons. 

    • FTC build season is September – December; competitions are local. Teams meet 1-2 times/week.
    • FRC build season is January -February. Additional testing and refinement continue through the March and April competition season. Teams meet 2+ times/week. Teams also work in the summer and fall off-season to develop skills.

  • Non-technical mentors - FTC and FRC

    Successful teams feature a variety of skilled mentors and students. Teams need:

    • Help to develop and refine a marketing plan, branding strategy, and community outreach events
    • Assistance with the creation of and revision of a business plan
    • Feedback on a variety of essays and presentations
    • Mock interview practice for students who will speak on behalf of the team

  • Volunteers at robotics competitions
