I'm not very technically minded, so if anyone has suggestions for other ways that I could contribute, I would appreciate that as well. (however, I do weld, and I know how to run a drill press, band-saw, sander, mill, etc.)

Also, I've tried to look this up, but I have not found a clear answer. Do mentors go with the students to competitions?

Thanks so much for your help!
You should get in touch with your local senior mentor:

Idaho does not appear to have one, but this list should suffice. Ours is Richard Sisk, he keeps us out of trouble.
