Helping Local Teams

[AlecMataloni]

As a student, I have been involved with FIRST since 6th grade, when I joined the FLL team at my school. Since then, I've grown to love this program and I've decided that one of my major goals in life is to become an FRC mentor; however, I am very impatient and I lament the fact that traditionally I would have to wait until I graduate college to do so. Thus, I've decided that I want to get a head start on my mission to become a mentor. Therefore, I am wondering if anyone knows of any rookie teams being planned for next year in the Chicagoland area that I could contact. I won't be able to be with any teams during the build season due to obvious reasons; however, I would love to assist any new or struggling FRC teams in the process of preparing for the upcoming season. If someone knows of a school or group with an FRC team in need that's planned for next year's season located relatively close to the northwest suburbs of Chicago, please contact me at alecmataloni@comcast.net . Thank you!
