Special to The Sun

Lenape High School’s robotics team is currently seeking four volunteer mentors from the fields of business, marketing, software engineering, electrical engineering, and or mechanical or biomedical engineering to guide students through robotic design alongside their current Lenape technology education teachers.

The volunteers will meet in person once a week from December through March with students and teachers at Lenape High team facilities. They will also be available virtually throughout the week for questions. FIRST robotics is a global nonprofit that prepares young people for the future with a suite of youth robotics programs and a premier league of competitive robotics.

Lenape’s FRC Team 2720, named the Red Watch Robotics, is this year’s recipient of the FMA Engineering Inspiration Award and the FIRST Championship Team Sustainability Award recipient for the Milstein Division. The team wants to increase its skills with masters of the trades.

Volunteers will have to complete a state volunteer application and screening and get Lenape Regional High School District board approval. The school’s robotics team will reimburse any out-of-pocket costs associated with the screening.

Contact Sue Scott at smiller@lrhsd.org for more information on how to get involved.
