Re: Team Alumni Associations

Team 193 in run exclusively by MORT Alumni, and is a great way for alum who have gone off into STEM Careers to come back and give valuable knowledge to new members of our team. The whole experience is something that we feel is very unique and are working on publishing a more formal paper/"Beta Binder" next year.

We also have a pretty good amount of alumni that continue to be involved with FIRST on other FRC and FLL teams, and we honor a few of them each year at our year end celebration by inducting them into the "Alumni Hall of Fame" We're a very family oriented team, and many of our alumni have younger siblings go through the program. We also continue to see support from the families of these alumni as well in many ways.

Many of our alumni also come back every year for the two FIRST events that we hold (FLL in December, FRC in March) to come out and support us, as well as unofficial events like Kickoff and our end of build season "Rollout" event. We have kept track of all of our alumni since 1996 and have information on all of them on our website.

Our alumni also come back to help teach summer seminars to discuss the basics on strategic design, drivetrains, programming, etc before our more formal new member training in the fall, which is led by current students.
