The MIT Mentorship Initiative is an effort to help recruit mentors to programs like FIRST. Today a short film called “Satisfaction” was released to the public for your use in public outreach and recruitment. You are encouraged to use it. Enjoy the film and look for your team, friend, and mentors.
Background information - The production ‘company’ is FRC1311, Kell Robotics. This video project took 10 months and a few dozen people to get this done.

I’m thankful that my “allergies” symptoms were cut from the video! I remember ending my interview tearfully also. I was happy to see that Mr. Bart shared my emotions when speaking about why we stick with this mentoring thing…
The video turned out great and I’m honored to have been included.
What are the restrictions on use? Is there any way that this could be available to mere mortals to help with mentor recruitment, or is this an exclusive MIT property?
There are no restrictions that will impede you using it in your recruitment. ( I can say that, it says so in the very final credit of the video )
Go to the 1st message in this thread and follow the instructions. Get a copy for yourself. Show it to people, share the youtube, embed it if you like, etc.
In “Satisfaction” it was pretty much unanimous that “Allergies” was the favorite phrase.
In “Mentorship : Engineering A Legacy” I think “any body (pronounced buddie) that can make a peanut butter sandwich can be a mentor” will probably be the winning phrase even though there are some other good phrases also.
