Outreach Opportunities
Coaches wanted for the Collegiate Leadership Coaching Committee (CLCC):
The CLCC is looking to recruit new coaches for FY14! The CLCC helps to promote section
vitality by sending coaches to collegiate sections to present SWE related, professional
development modules during a coaching session.
If you are interested in applying for a coaching position or would like more information
about the CLCC, please contact Heather Wiest at wiesthk@gmail.com.
Call out to all SWE members to become FIRST Robotics Team mentors!
Be a FIRST Robotics team mentor. There are many in the city of Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
The teams are made up of high school youth (freshman through seniors), all potential
future engineers.... Under the right mentorship!!!
Consider this an opportunity to pay it forward in your community while doing something fun
and technically challenging (building a robot from scratch in 6 weeks is a a lot of fun and
technically challenging) and learning new ways of thinking (the minds of youth are not as
restricted as ours and we can learn a lot from their creativity)!
Also, remember what the statistics show, youth don't tend to look at career paths that
don't have adults that look like them. SO, if we are in there, helping out with these
different teams, we are showing we are out here as engineers. They can see who they can
become and not let anyone or any subject stop them from achieving their dreams!
Please contact: Dan Green at dgreen@usfirst.org to get involved!
