Volunteer & mentor

Teams thrive on great mentors. If you have a background in engineering, software, design, project management, or any STEAM field — or you're simply enthusiastic and reliable — we'd love your help. Mentors typically support a team through the build and competition season. Email us to learn about current opportunities.
