[Trying to Help]

Welcome to FIRST!

As a mentor, I can urge you to do both the familiar and the unfamiliar. It's nice to do something that you're already good at doing, but it's really important to step beyond your comfort zone. I've done it each year as a mentor. The confidence that you will gain from mastering something new will stand you in good stead.

I'm happy to give this advice to any of our team members, both male and female. I attended the FIRST workshops before Kickoff and one experienced mentor from Rosie Robotics mentioned that we give students a safe place to fail. It's true. We also give you a safe place to succeed. So take some chances and just start learning and doing.
