Go to Post We need to find the female engineering mentors in FIRST and start having them present/co-present technical conferences at the championships. We need to start showing the girls on the teams that there are female engineering "rock stars" to look up to. - Kims Robot [more]

Re: Clash of Objectives.

I've debated back and forth on this one. For our team, we made it to Einstein with a student drive coach in 2013, and we made it to Einstein in 2014 with a mentor drive coach.

The biggest difference? Our student coach had to focus pretty much on our team and more narrowly on the roles of the other alliance members. Our mentor coach was able to step back and coach the other alliance members, even before the matches. Having a mentor coach allows us to reach out to other teams more directly which I think benefits a broader spectrum of the community.

I'll also say the drive coach is in that grey area between direction and playing, so there's not a bright line. We've used student coaches at off season events recently.
