[UFH]: Thank Your Mentor Day!

[RoboMom]

I want to thank all the incredible mentors we have here in Maryland. We have dozens of mentors who are mentoring rookie teams this year AND THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A FIRST EVENT! We have mentors, including lots and lots of teachers, who are overworked and under-loved and now know enough to joke "it's only 6 weeks..."

I met dozens of mentors/coaches at our FLL state tournament on Sat. They are doing something right as there was so much good karma on that day with the teams. There were hundreds of kids who spontaneous gave a standing ovation to the director's award winning team. It gave me goosebumps.

And a special hug to my old team, Team007, who gave me a corsage tonight and some sweets at their "Tea with the Robot and thank your mentor day" open house.
