Student Mentor
Stop by of our FMJ Lab at Roanne County High School in Kingston. The teachers can explain any fees, travel and academic requirements. The team meets (almost) weekly in the fall and (nearly) every day in the early spring . Check our Facebook page for announcements.
After joining the team register with FIRST, go through an online OSHA safety test, receive some training and get ready to work. Then, contact one of the student officers to get plugged into a design group. You'll find many to choose from!

Mentors and Coaches are individuals from all backgrounds and disciplines who work with students to share their knowledge and guide them through the season. Many Mentors contribute on a weekly basis during competition season, or support the team with subject matter expertise on an as needed basis. Teams may have additional,or more specialized roles, or a combination of roles, as needed. In addition, Mentors help to foster the idea of Gracious Professionalism® and have the students do as much of the work as possible. Source
