Our understanding of the VTA program is that it is targeted at connecting adult mentors/advisors with teams that might not otherwise have adequate technical help. Technical advisors can communicate with teams in any of a variety of ways of their choice. The VTA program was announced after we had begun efforts to organize FRSee, but given the current rapid development of electronic communication means, it is not surprising to see these two programs emerge.

FRSee is designed to promote team-with-team collaboration, and takes place entirely via Skype video calls. FRSee also welcomes mentors, alumni, and advisors to join and monitor the network if they would like to visit with teams at their build sites. Just give us a Skype name that we can share with the network.
