RoboParents: Parent Involvement in FIRST
There are lots of parents who play a role on FIRST teams. This conversation will cover: estimates of how many parents are involved; recognizing barriers to parent involvement; hints for how to engage parents; and an overview of the possible roles - including as mentors. We’ll also briefly cover the topics of parent handbooks and booster clubs and share resources for finding more information.
Although this session will focus on FRC teams, some of the discussion is applicable to all FIRST programs.
This session may be of interest to team leaders, administrators, and teachers and of course, parents!
