Re: Keeping in Touch & Remaining "Relevant"

Hi Kerry!

Since I know you talked with the Instigators previously, I only have two recommendations.
First, look into what events you can volunteer for, like everyone else said, since I know it would be great to have you at Escanaba, plus anyone one you can bring along.
The second is to look into forming a club or school organization for FIRST alumni or robot enthusiasts. We created one at Tech, where we coordinate mentors for the 3 area teams, and we created a collegiate team for MRDC for those that want to do more or do not wish to mentor. The club can be used to coordinate mentors for FTC or FLL as well, depending on what's started in the area. It can be whatever people want it to be.

Sidenote: I volunteered as a judge for FLL this year. Never had to learn the game for my role. Even if you don't know the specific game, you can find ways to volunteer.

Patrick
