FIRST High School Robotics Teams Need Mentors

This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants a resume-builder. If that's your motivation and you can handle feeling guilty for having so much fine, then you should look into this.

Needed skill areas include:

  • C + programming
  • Website work
  • Project management
  • Electrical engineering
  • Mechanical engineering

Beverly J. White, Regional Director of FIRST, says, "The UMKC students have been great, the past two years in helping these teams." Now, there's a challenge to those at other universities--can you step up to the plate? Practicing engineers are also invited to participate.

Contact Beverly at bjpwhite @ kc.rr.com for more information about getting involved.

Send Us Your News

If you have information of interest to IEEE Kansas City Section members, please send that to the Publications Officer (writer @ ieee.org). Here are some examples of what we're looking for:

News pertaining to individual IEEE members of all grades, including students:

  • Obituaries
  • Awards, promotions, appointments, honors
  • Notable achievements
  • "Looking for work"--send a paragraph explaining what you do and how to reach you.

News to benefit other members

  • Technical seminars that are open to Section members
  • New courses
  • Job openings
    •

There is no "deadline." Just send information as you get it, and the Publications Officer will add it to the next eNL (if the item is appropriate and if space permits--and space nearly always permits).

Thought for the Day

The best solution to a problem is seldom the most expensive solution. Then again, the cheapest solution is sometimes the most costly.
