Re: Mentoring?

Students in FLL love to work with high school students. Junior FLL students may be intimidated but that can be overcome. You need to remember that younger students do learn at a different paces and act differently than you. Just be calm and understanding and use your FRC skills to help guide their work. Don't be surprised if one day they walk in and have forgotten what they learned. It happens. Never be surprised if one day you walk in and they want to tear the robot apart and start over. It is part of the way they attack the problem and it may be what you were hoping for the last week or so. Have fun and good luck.
