THANK YOU MENTORS AND VOLUNTEERS!
None of the teams’ successes would have been possible this season without those special mentors who have spent hours each week with your team. And this event would not be possible without the support of our volunteers.
Coach Manny from Super Smash Bro-Bots was the winner of the Coach/Mentor Award!
A big thank you and congratulations goes out to Jared Hasen-Klein for earning the Volunteer of the Year Award!
