Re: Mentor Poll - Who are you trying to Inspire?

I am trying to enspire society. So, this past season I helped to start, and mentored an FLL team. The reason I started it was so that I could help students, and the community realize how important and amazing robotics is.(At least to me). And every single student on the team had a parent go to each competition they went to this year. They even made it to Florida State. But beside that, my and their community never really knew some of the options they have/had. All the students live in a low income area so, I wanted to give them a chance to see just what it is they have the potential to do. In starting the team, it opened it up to them and the rest of the surrounding area of the school.
I have also talked to my cousin whom currently resides in Germany and she is looking for a team to mentor or start out over there. The only problem is, she is living on/near a military base. She will be there for years but, the students are a different thing.
