Wisconsin FIRST

[nerdrock101]

This Minnesota girl got a job in Wisconsin and is moving to Eau Claire! I'm looking for a new FRC team to support and some mentors who know the WI FIRST scene to help me get my bearings. I'm unfamiliar with the area and am only vaguely familiar with some WI teams based on their participation in MN regionals.

After a quick search using the ZIP Code 54701, there looks to be just one team within a 50 mile radius - Team 2143, Team Tobor, from Immanuel Lutheran High School right in Eau Claire

Thanks, Ryan. I'll have to send them a message, though my initial thoughts are that it's pretty unfortunate to have so little FRC...

Sent you a PM with some contact info for someone who may know how FRC is going in that area, even though he is, technically, on th MN side of the border

You also might want to check with the UW Eau Claire Foundation or the Eau Claire County 4-H. They received a $10,000 Innovation Award from AT&T last November to develop after-school robotics programs to promote STEM and help kids from low-income, first generation and underrepresented populations prep for college through UWEC's Bluegold Beginnings program.
