Thursday is Thank Your Mentors Day. How will you do this? // #BotChat Update #4 1/13
 

Yesterday’s #BotChat had some great discussion on working with other teams (#BFFteams), week one accomplishments and failures, shop space and kitbot chassis. The last question seemed the most helpful, with reminding people that this upcoming Thursday is “Thank Your Mentors” day! Feel free to respond to any of the questions, but particularly share your ideas for the last one!

Q1: Does your team work with any others in your area? Where do you go when you need help? #BotChat #omgRobots
Q2: Tell us about your Week 1 trials, tribulations, and achievements.#BotChat #omgRobots
Q3: Where is your shop? If you could change anything about it, what would you change? #BotChat #omgRobots
Q4: Will your team be using the kitbot chassis for #UltimateAscent? Why or why not? #BotChat #omgRobots
Q5: Thursday is Thank your Mentor Day. How will your team celebrate its mentors? #BotChat #omgRobots

A5: Didn't know that! Maybe we'll all go to dinner or something. #botchat

A5: We will aim to not have any disasters on Thursday :) And I'm guessing there will be baked goods involved #botchat

A5: Last year, the team had "[Teacher] Day" where they put me on a scavenger hunt for presents and then bought me dinner. #awesome #botchat

A5 Two years ago the students had a "sit down" lunch for the mentors on a build saturday. They had "waitstaff", linens, etc #BotChat

A5: I plan on bringing down cookies! Plus we adults have choir practice after meetings every Thursday. Winning!!! #botchat

A5: I didn't know that. I'm the only consistent mentor so... I'll buy myself something nice? Haha. #botchat

A5: two other teachers have been coming by to help me out this year. I'd like to take them out for a nice dinner after build. #BotChat
