Be Part of Team Duct Tape
If you’re interested in being part of Team Duct Tape, either as a mentor, supporter or student team member, contact us at info@learningis4everyone to let us know.
Sponsors and Mentors
Potential sponsors can learn more at our Sponsorship Opportunities page. Mentors with experience in programming, mechanical engineering, CAD design, robotics, team building and related skills are always welcome. Our team members are always eager for learning opportunities at meetings and at field outings, so if you’ve got a skill or business you feel they’d benefit from learning more about, we welcome the opportunity to work with you in expanding team members knowledge and skill base, and enhancing their futures.
Students
If you’re a high school student and interested in being part of Team Duct Tape for the 2009-2010 season, we’d love to meet you and learn more about you. To most enjoy the FIRST Tech Challenge experience, we recommend that potential members have a good sense of humor, unlimited imagination, unbridled curiosity and a strong interest in engineering, math and science, ideally with some experience in programming. Past experience in robotics (BEST, Lego Mindstorm, Sumo, etc) is helpful but not necessary.Parents and family are a vital part of the team experience, and some family involvement and assistance is integral to our success.
We’re a small team, both by choice and necessity, but will consider up to two new members this season. The cost to be part of the team is a one time contribution of $150, which goes to support team costs for parts and competition fees. You can learn more about Team Duct Tape by looking over our Team Handbook,(PDF) which includes a member application and our student-parent-coach agreement, as well.
We’ll accept team membership requests through the end of August 2009.
