Team 3256 is looking for mentors to join our team. We believe that the quality of our student experience is directly related to mentor involvement, whether that’s online or in-person, and would like to provide better opportunities for our students to compete for awards and wins in 2024 and beyond.
We are looking for in-person mentors in and around the South Bay Area (@bayareamentors), as well as remote mentors willing to engage with our students online through chat and video call. We’re especially interested in mentors with experience in technical skills ranging from Prototyping, Design & CAD, Manufacturing, software and Technical Management.
We are also open to mentors who might already be involved with other teams, including other local teams, as well as new or college-aged mentors who might still be developing their skills. While we typically meet 3 times a week during the build season, we are flexible, and are willing to work with mentors on a more limited basis.
Team 3256 is also fortunate to have access to advanced manufacturing in-house, with machines including our CNC mill, 4x4 CNC router, Bridgeport knee mill, Hardinge lathe, laser cutters, and over 12 MarkForge, Prusa, and Stratasys printers. Our shop is always growing, and we have a dedicated R&D budget for shop development.
We’re always happy to welcome more people who want to help us out. If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more, please reach out to me, Emeka Okekeocha, at [email protected].
