Team 4488 Seeking Mentors

Team 4488 is seeking experienced mentors to join our team for the current 2023-2024 season and beyond supporting both technical and non-technical aspects of the team. With around 25 students, we aim to provide individual attention to all of them and improve our mentorship program. We have been blessed over the years with amazing mentors but as the years go by, the circumstances for people change and availability changes. As such, we are looking for experienced and passionate mentors with skills in one or many of the following areas to help share the load:

Mechanical Design

CAD
Prototyping
3D Printing
Manufacturing
CNC Router
Competition Logistics
Robot Programming (JAVA)
Application programming and data analysis for strategy purposes (Android Application)
Technical Writing & Fundraising

We are looking for mentors already located in the Portland/Hillsboro area, who can attend builds 3-4 days a week from January to April and competitions in March and April. Please let us know if you’re interested!

Reach out to me here on CD or you can email me directly at [email protected]

PS. School District regulations do require that each mentor submit to a background check and be fingerprinted.

Sounds fun, definitely not in the area but what a great opportunity for mentors to learn from students and vice versa.

Fun to keep an eye on you all from season to season, maybe some new mentorship will help push that performance envelope even further :slight_smile:
