About NEMO: For 8 years the Non-Engineering Mentor Organization has been a support group and information exchange for those adult mentors who help teams as part of the FIRST programs, including JrFLL/FLL/FTC/FRC. NEMO has a central clearinghouse for information. NEMs on teams help with all the behind-the-scenes-glue holding the teams together including mentor recruitment and retention, travel, hotels, meals, parent involvement, fundraising, business plans, public relations, community service, team building and logistics. NEMs help build a team so the team can build a robot. Our membership has grown to over 600 mentors in FIRST!
