Mentorship 

Mentorship:

Our Mentors:

Juice Box- During our coding journey, we reached out to Juice Box, an affiliate of MARS- Patriot Engineering FTC team, to help us work our gyro and other sensors to ultimately create an efficient autonomous program to score points. 

Furkan- To succeed, we knew we needed mentors, so we reached out to former FIRST Alumni and School Alumni who made it to the World Championship to help us out. We met him last year in our league meets and after numerous emails and persuasion speeches, he was willing to help our journey this year.

Furkan has helped us with coding and building. He has been instrumental in creating and improving existing practices such as wiring and autonomous.

Who We Mentored:

Mustangs 2.0- As our club expanded more and more people were interested in robotics, so we accepted them and created a second team, Mustangs 2.0. We mentored them with driving, building CAD, and programming. We taught them how to do numerous different things. This is not all we have helped with; however, we have also spread the word of FIRST and allowed them to become mentors themselves to the younger people and other teams.

Mustangs 3.0- We have had a significant increase in the number of people interested so we created a third team, Mustangs 3.0. To move forward with FIRST’s ideals, we decided to recruit as many girls as possible to our club. Like the second team we have been a key mentor in the development and made them into an independent team themselves.

Robo Raiders- The Robo Raiders are a team full of middle schoolers that we met during our first meeting. We first got their attention by visiting their booth after hearing about their similar start in FTC as us, beginning in 7th grade. We realized the potential of this team and decided to take them under our wing, starting with assisting them in building their claw, which happened to be the same design as ours. We went from assisting the team to mentoring them as we got their communication methods and consistently helping them with problems they face.
