Team Leaders, a new opportunity to hear from actual STEM professionals and a substantial update on GRIP.

GRIP

The Robettes, Team 2177, are hosting an all day training session, Girls in Robotics Improving Performance (GRIP!). The hands-on training event is on Saturday, Nov 11.  Because of the generous support of a new sponsor, the event is now free for all attendees.  The event is aimed specifically at girls that want to improve their technical abilities and gain new skills they can take back to their team.  The three tracks (Mechanical, Electrical, and Programming) allow them to focus on the area of their team they want to have the biggest impact in.

Stem In Action Day will feature 12 stem professionals from different STEM fields presenting, giving demos, and hands on experience for 4 main tracks (Artificial Intelligence, Startups, Careers,. and Cool Tech).  The goal is to give high school students from a variety of backgrounds an opportunity to see and generate interest in a wide range of stem careers.

The event itself is free.

Space is limited, please respond promptly via e-mail to dave@hendricksen.org with the list of team members and any coaches/mentors that will be attending no later than Tuesday, November 6th.  This list will be used to admit your team into the Eagan Thomson Reuters Facilities from a security perspective.
