I am a current member of PurdueFIRST Programs and a current 1646 mentor. Last year, my freshmen year at Purdue, I did not want to mentor an FRC team because I wanted to figure this whole college thing out before I committed to work with a team. Instead I decided to work with the Regional Development sub team within PurdueFIRST and helped out at our FLL competition and FRC competition along with other PurdueFIRST activities.

So if you want to stay apart of FIRST but not necessarily mentor a team then there are several things you can do within PurdueFIRST like Regional Development, Industrial Relations, Public Relations, FLL, VEX, and Information Technology. Also, in case you weren't aware, PurdueFIRST is an actual class at Purdue that you receive 2 credits a semester for which is awesome. However since you do receive a grade for your work you will have responsibilities and or certain task you need to accomplish. If you have any questions about PurdueFIRST feel free to let me or any of our other members know.
