NEMO Meeting at IRI

Are you a non-engineering mentor for your FIRST team?

Are you attending the Indiana Robotics Invitational?

Then please join us!

NEMO (the Non-Engineering Mentors Organization) will be holding a get together on Saturday morning after Opening Ceremonies.* We encourage all Non-Engineering Mentors (NEMs) to join us, whether you are a member of NEMO or not.

The meeting will be about an hour long, with the following goals in mind:

1. To stimulate the growth of NEMO by actively holding a meeting and recruiting new members
2. To bring NEMs together for networking
3. To bring NEMS together to encourage sharing of resources

Bring questions that you may have for other NEMs.
Bring business cards/notebooks/pens for taking down notes and contact information.

FIRST is growing, and with this growth many challenges are arising. To tackle these challenges, we need to work together. The first step in that is expanding our networks and horizons. So, please spread the word about this meeting. Encourage any NEMs who you know to attend.

And, if you're planning on attending, please respond to this thread, so we can get an idea of how many people are interested.

*Time of meeting may change. Meeting place to be determined. Listen to announcements at the event, and look in your team packet and check this thread as we come closer to IRI for more information.*

Re: NEMO Meeting at IRI

Team 1640 - I'll be there with one other person and a 50% probability on a third person attending. It depends on when the meeting is, preferably not during the Mentor Show-off Driving Competition and during the IRI/VEX Swept Away Challenge.

Thanks for organizing this! One of our goals for 2010-11 is to increase the numbers of NEM and what they do.

I'm looking forward to this. Carolyn's enthusiasm and leadership will make this a very fun and productive hour. In other words, it's going to be a blast.

Re: NEMO Meeting at IRI

This sounds neat. I wish I was a NEM But my mom is considering attending. I'll edit this post if she makes a decision before we leave on Thursday.

Re: NEMO Meeting at IRI

With all the button making going on at IRI, hopefully someone will be able to make up some much coveted "doing all the stuff that isn't rocket science" NEMO buttons to give out at the meeting.

Carolyn has the template, but let me know if anyone else needs it or the handout "How to facilitate a NEMO meeting."

Also I did a workshop for the VISTA's on "Parent Involvement." Let me know if anyone would like a copy of the outline. Many NEM's contributed to the suggestions.

I'll be there in spirit too!

It will depend on the scheduling, but I'll try to stop in if it is during a match downtime! Thanks, Carolyn for spearheading this!
