Ethiopia FLL mentor course by FRC 3211 The Y Team

[Tottanka]

Hello CD!
We are proud to present our latest project, hopefully to become a continuous one.
This June we (3 team members+3 mentors) started and ran an FLL mentors course for Ethiopian engineers and teachers. ~20 adults passed the full certification in Debra Zeit (around a 1 hour drive from the capital, Adis Abebe), and are now being spread all over the country to start multiple FLL teams in various locations.
The course was a huge success and will likely be followed by future additional courses, and hopefully a competition in mid 2017.
This was done thanks to the IsraAID organization, who helped with travel costs, purchasing ~20 FLL kits and Laptops for each future mentor.
You can view some pictures of the course here:

We hope this will keep growing and help Africa as a whole towards multiple FLL, FTC and FRC teams. We will keep you posted on future progress of this program.

For our students, it was an amazing and life changing experience. To have the opportunity of traveling to Africa at a high school age, and teach robotics to future mentors, knowing that you are making change in the future of African kid's lives is huge for us and we are grateful for this.
