Introducing the Connecticut FIRST Alumni Network

At Kickoff, Dean issued his homework assignment for the 2009 FRC season: locate former FIRST participants. What he didn't know is that for the last three months, those of us in Connecticut have been working on this very same project (and no, we didn't steal the homework assignment).

So... we at Connecticut FIRST are pleased to announce the creation of the CT FIRST Alumni Network (CTFAN).

Who can join CTFAN? Alumni from...
* any Connecticut FRC or FTC team (regardless of where they live, work or attend college)
* any FRC or FTC team attending college in Connecticut
* any FRC or FTC team living in Connecticut
* any FRC or FTC team working in Connecticut

Why join CTFAN?
* to learn about FIRST events in Connecticut
* to learn about volunteer opportunities with FIRST
* to learn about job and internship opportunities
* to get career mentoring and coaching
* to network with fellow FIRST alums
* to share your experiences with current FIRST participants and sponsors

To join CTFAN just click here and provide some basic contact information.

Oh... we are planning to hold a CT FIRST Alumni Reunion at the 2009 Connecticut Regional FIRST Robotics Competition event in March. The exact details are currently being worked out, but for now keep your calendars open and look for more information to come.
