Team Mentorship Question

[Jay O'Donnell]

Welcome back to FIRST! To answer your question about FLL vs FRC, I think that depends on a few things:
1) How experienced are you in the environment of an FRC team, or how well acquainted are you with how FRC works as oppose to an FLL team?
2) would you rather work with younger kids or with High School students?
3)Are you more available in one part of the year than another? (Fall vs Winter/Spring)

I would also find out all of the FIRST teams in your area and ask if they are interested in having you as a mentor, but the answer will usually be yes.
Good Luck!

Glad to hear a Chicago FIRST alum is wanting to get involved. There are no shortage of FRC teams in Chicago looking for an engineering mentor. I've only mentored in FRC so I can't provide any insights in choosing between FRC and FLL. I can help try to help you find an FRC team or provide contacts regarding FLL.
