Needed: #PDX area front-end #developer willing to #volunteer time to teach and mentor a high school FIRST Robotics program.

The Tactics & Strategy wing of the Skyview Robotics program has been working on a data collection and reporting tool and could use some professional guidance. The mentor "stack" includes Product, UX Design, Data Analyst, and Dev Ops, but nobody to teach front-end coding.

We'll meet Tues and Thursday nights starting in the fall. Reach out for more info. Thanks!

Yesterday was bad freaking ass. I've started mentoring my kids' high school robotics team. (while wearing an N95) Last year, they invited my then-8th grader to be a full-fledged team member, so since she's a freshman and now I have two kids on the team, I thought I should offer up my time. Plus, my oldest is the team captain. Yesterday was the first meeting with the veterans and the kids who want to join this season. I love quirky high school nerds! They are sweet and kind. They're curious and excited. And that was just watching the slide deck full of typos and mistakes. And kids who made the slides with mistakes laughed at themselves, making the whole room laugh. I defy you to hold a straight face with 50 neurospicy laughing teenagers. It was a delightful afternoon. I know less than nothing about robots, so it will be an interesting school year. But sometimes, it's good for kids to see adults learning and making mistakes alongside them. So that'll be my job, I think. That, and ensuring everyone is fed, gets on the plane, and is in their assigned hotel room at lights out. ;) Today, we are building XRP bots to eventually play full-contact soccer (football) as practice for building our big FRC bot in January. Wish me luck!

Account registration is OPEN. Come join us over at frcsocial.me!

Please, repost/boost this!

If I were to set up an instance targeted towards FRC students, mentors, and teams, would there be interest? I feel it would be a really cool thing to do, especially as it seems like there's not a lot of robotics going on #onhere

Please repost if you know anyone who would be interested

#FRC #FRCRobotics #FIRSTRobotics

WE WON!!! We just won our first robotics event, and placed first overall!!!! We are going to districts, and there’s a very real chance at worlds!!

Watch out Taylor Swift, we’re coming!

My life is focused on family, friends, reading & robotics. I love being a mentor for 2 robotics teams #omgrobots #FIRSTRobotics #frc

I live with chronic pain #fibromyaglia but am working on being accepting of that. With that in mind, I will end with a fav quote.

"Well the universe brought me this far, handed me this body, and this situation and this family. Thank you. And since it got me this far ,it might as well just keep going where it goes, and I will go along for the ride. “ Jundo Cohen

Time for #introductions: I'm a #MaterialsScientist doing product development at #3M. In my spare time, I dabble in programming and mentor #FTCRobotics and #FRC #FRCRobotics teams.
#IntroduceYourself

Ok, now that Im set up in a new instance, and transferred the accounts I previously followed here, time for an #introduction!

Hey! Im Gwen! And I'm a CS student up at UBC in Canada. Currently on a co-op term, hoping to get into game making as a career. Used to do #FRC in high school!

I do a lot of projects! You'll see me share some of them, including cosplay, electronics, and programming. Though, it's going to be mostly WIP's ahaha, who has time to actually finish anything? Anyway, lets go!
