Re: Where to find mentors.
We have picked up a decent amount of mentors, technical and not, through school open houses and back to school days where we demo our robot. Believe it or not, a decent amount of students in your high school / district probably have a parent (or both) that are engineers. They may only stay mentors so long as their kid(s) is(are) on the team, but they are a valuable resource for the time you have them. A lot of our mentors actually had kids on the team at one point and stayed. Now that I think about it, Only 1, our teacher sponsor, is the only one who hasn't had a kid (or grandson) be on the team at one point.
