Mentor a FIRST Team

FIRST Mentors, are, through the kids, the key ingredient in the success of a team. The Mentors’ contribution to the success of FIRST programs and ultimately to the success of FIRST is immeasurable. The time, responsibility and expertise of a Mentor or Coach will vary but the one constant is that you are bringing something to your team that they need to learn, grow and succeed.
A Mentor/Coach:

•  Can be a person of any age, teaching others what they know
•  Brings either technical or non technical expertise to the team
•  Provides the opportunity for students to learn directly through experiences
•  Begins as a teacher, evolves into a colleague
•  Knows that Mentoring and Coaching is about inspiring and guiding
•  Provides students the environment to succeed
•  Is patient, supportive, enthusiastic, compassionate and available
•  Remembers what’s important – it’s about the kids and they come first
