Starting New Teams
I am not a FIRST alumnus because there were no FIRST teams in the greater Milwaukee area when I was in high school. When I started at Milwaukee School of Engineering, I met two eager alumni from two different FIRST teams that wanted to start a team in the Milwaukee area. I knew a FIRST team would work out well at my former high school and soon after a new FIRST team was born.
Those two eager alumni turned out to be Kevin Kolodziej of Team Hammond (#71) and Lauren Halatek of Team Wildstang (#111). I have had the pleasure of working with these two FIRST Alumni and a few other college students to form, mentor and run a new team: Team Wild Beast (#1064). Kevin and Lauren have put in an exorbitant amount of time and effort into starting and running this team with only the help of a couple of college students and two Tech Ed/Shop teachers.
Thank you Kevin and Lauren
