As a college advisor from Purdue on Team 461, I was wondering where did the mentors on other teams graduate from? List your name, team # and alma mater!

What’s internesting about my FIRST involvement, is I’ve never gone to the school that’s directly involved with the team. Enfield High and Fermi High are the two high schools in Enfield CT. Although it’s Fermi’s team, Enfield High was encouraged to participate.
Now in college Northeastern encourages anyone to come by that’s willing to help. Last year, I made the 10 minute walk from my WIT dorm to the Northeastern Lab.
This year, I was on co-op in my hometown. To be able to participate I took a week of work off. I stayed at an engineers house (Thanks George) for the last week of build and commuted to Northeastern. I put in about 70 hours during that week of build. Our robot was finally complete at 4am on ship day

I’m taking classes at this remote Purdue campus cause its cheaper and then after I get an associates degree I can move to the main campus of Purdue and go for a BS in CmpEET or I can take a few (more like several :p) more years and go for the Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering degree…sitll got plenty of time to figure that out…
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (BSEE - 2000)
Terre Haute South Vigo High School (1996)
Both in lovely Terre Haute, IN - my home that I dearly miss.
Neither of these fine schools has a FIRST team. (Hint, hint)
Went to Rochester’s East High school (class of 1985) no FIRST program.
Still attending RIT (Team 73 the Visioneers) should graduate in either the summer or the fall.
