Team 5254 is looking for mentors to join our team. Our mentor base is pretty non-existent, on almost every side. As such we’re looking to add some new mentors improve our ability to give our students the experience of winning a banner.
We’re looking particularly for mentors with skills in the following areas:
Design
CAD
Manufacturing
Prototyping
Graphic design and media
Programming
Electrical
Strategy
Scouting
Business
Chairmans
Outreach
Literally every area in FRC
Other skills you think might be useful to our team
Requirements:
Have a beating heart
Want to be there
Have 0+ years of experience
Show up to some meeting or competition at some point during the year probably
Benefits:
If you hold up your hand, you can block out the “5” on our bumpers and briefly pretend we’ve won something
Plenty of robot repair-work to do, especially during the finals
Increased familiarity with the entire VEXPro product line
Silver medals make great fashion statements
Actually some of the greatest students in the whole freakin’ program
In all seriousness, my time with 5254 is coming to an end soon, as I’m graduating in 2019, and my assistance to the team during the school year has always been limited due to making school a priority.
This team has been great to me, and the students are passionate and hungry to learn and do more with this program. If you’re anywhere in the Ithaca area, do consider helping out HYPE, even if it’s on a limited basis.
You can PM me here on Chief Delphi or email me at leonkevi (at) gmail.com if you’re interested.
If I had time for another team, 5254 would be high on my list of who to help out. They are an incredibly driven, talented, and friendly group who are truly in pursuit of excellence.
I traveled to champs with 5254 and I can say that the mentor and student culture is super amazing and supportive. Personally, I would love to come in for a few days during Winter break when I’m not mentoring 639 and help out.
