Team 254 is looking for a few experienced mentors to join our team. We had six technical mentors this year and over 100 students, so we're seriously lacking in the ability to give all our students the individual attention they deserve.
We're looking particularly for mentors with skills in the following areas:
- Prototyping
- Design
- CAD
- Manufacturing
- Project management
- Graphic design and media
- Marketing
- Technical writing, grant writing
Requirements:
- Must have a sense of humor (Tem 254: Teh Chezy Pofs is just the tip of the iceberg)
- Must be able to deal with other mentors and their large egos and obsessive compulsions
- Must be willing to spend about 20-40 hours a week with us for four months a year
- Must not object to having EJ's head photoshopped onto random pictures of you
- Must take a vow of secrecy and undergo a Facebook background check
- Must be able to endure constant heckling from other mentors
Benefits:
- Mentor bacon
- No snow or ice during build season
- Mentors get served first when team parents bring dinner
- Weekly cookies and other baked goods courtesy of Pat
- Free hat
In all seriousness, we're always happy to welcome people who want to help us out. Drop any of us a line (Cory, Travis, EJ, Tom, Richard, me) if you're interested. Non-technical mentors are welcome too. (NASA engineers also welcome -- we don't currently have any.)
