>The Ridgewood YMCA : extraordinary and unique opportunity to lead the FIRST Robotics Competition Team
The Ridgewood YMCA is looking for a professional engineer who would like to volunteer to lead a FIRST Robotics Competition Team. The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) program aims to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, inspire innovation and foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
The FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRCTM) stages short games played by autonomous and remote controlled robots. The robots are designed and built in 6 weeks (from a common set of parts) by a team of 15 to 25 high-school-aged young people and a handful of engineers-mentors. The students remotely control the robots in competition rounds on the field.
Any interested engineers should call Chris at the Y at 201-444-5600 ext. 339 or cwolfstirn@ridgewoodym.org.
