Team 126 has many high school students that return as adult mentors. Not only do they return as mentors but there have been at least 8 people that have worked at Nypro in an engineering discipline. This number does not include the numerous high school students that have worked at Nypro while attending college. We currently have 3 full-time project engineers that work at Nypro and help the FIRST team. We have an english teacher at Clinton High that was once a student and now a mentor. Additionally, we have had other students become mentors of other teams. FIRST has become an integral part of this community and many students continue with FIRST after high school.
