Are you an adult who has a passion for robotics?  FIRST programs are driven by the involvement of adults who inspire and learn alongside student participants on every team.  If you are interested in competitive robotics, please visit the link below to build a profile and get connected.

As a Mentor or Coach of a FIRST team, you are, through the kids, the key ingredient in the success of your team.  Your 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.

Who are FIRST Mentors and Coaches?  Our team members say it best.  A Mentor/Coach:

• People from all backgrounds and disciplines who share their knowledge, whether it is technical or non-technical
• Someone who contributes on a weekly basis facilitating team meetings, helping the team set realistic goals and coordinate their work OR someone who supports the team with subject matter expertise on an as needed basis including assisting the team with topics such as programming questions, building skills, scholarships, business management, marketing, or fundraising
• An adviser who helps foster Gracious Professionalism® and FIRST Core Values in the students

The FIRST Mentor Network

From finding their people to finding their path, mentors help students gain the skills and confidence to forge ahead and build their future with FIRST.  And now, more than ever, we need to empower and foster the next generation of innovators to feel hopeful and build a better future. The FIRST Mentor Network is an interactive platform allowing mentors to find FIRST teams to work with virtually or face to face, locally or across the country, for a few hours or for a season. Learn more and create your mentor profile today!
