FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a program for Grades 9-12.
The FIRST Robotics Competition gives high school students and their adult mentors the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem. Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get.

At the FIRST Robotics Competition Events, teams show off what they learned and invented, and compete with their robots! They celebrate their hard work and meet other teams while competing for a spot at the FIRST Robotics Competition Ontario Provincial Championships! It’s a fun way to cap off their season!

As a judge, you will work in small groups to select team award recipients through interaction with teams, review documentation regarding team background information to familiarize judges with teams, and serve as role models for the students.

Time Commitment:
- March 15 - Judge’s training dinner – night before the first day of the event at the venue.
- March 16 and March 17 : 7:30 am - 6:00 pm
- Pre-event training – reading materials supplied by Judge Advisor approximately 2 weeks before event
- Due to the nature of the judging process, this two-day time commitment is essential. The Judge Panel starting time on both competition days is usually finalized at the evening dinner. Most Judge Advisors ask their Judge Panels to be on site and in the room by 7:30 a.m. on both days of the competition and stay until the end of the competition (anytime between 5-7pm)


Skills and Experience:
- FIRST experience not required
- Minimum suggested age: 23 (not be a student, including grad students) (FRC Only)
- Maximum of 4 Judges from one company per event
- Judges cannot judge at an event where their child is competing
- Judges must be separated from their team in an active role ( 3 hours or less per week)
for 3 years AND cannot judge an event where their team is competing even if they are a non active mentor.

Volunteering with Action Tutoring is an easy and rewarding way to make a difference to the lives of young people facing disadvantage. By volunteering as a tutor for just one hour a week, you can change the life of a child or young person, helping them open doors to their future. You'll have fun too!

As a volunteer, you can choose what subject (English or maths) you tutor, what day/time you volunteer, the subject and age-range right for you. You can choose to volunteer in person (at one of our local partner schools) or online (through our virtual classroom). With sessions taking place at the same time each week, across the course of 10-20 weeks, you'll support the same two-three pupils to build their maths and English subject knowledge, confidence, study skills and growth mindset, increasing their chance of success in maths and English SATs and GCSE exams. At Action Tutoring we provide all the training and resources needed to tutor, plus cover the cost of an enhanced DBS check for you.

What are we looking for and what's our volunteer criteria?

We look for volunteers who can spare just 1 hour per week across the course of a programme (10-20 weeks). Previous tutoring experience, or experience working with young people, is not necessary, but we do look for volunteers with the passion and patience to tutor!

We look for volunteers who have achieved at least a 'B' at A-Level (or equivalent) in their chosen subject (or similar subject) or have/are working towards a degree. If you don't neatly fit into our qualifications criteria, but have significant experience using maths or English in your work, we'd still love to welcome an application from you.

Benefits

Through tutoring with us our volunteers are able to develop a wealth of transferable skills that employers love (interpersonal, organisational, communication) and whilst making a significant difference. We work with students from universities and corporations across the UK. Help your community. Apply today: www.actiontutoring.org.uk

We're partnered with schools across East and West Midlands, North West, London, Newcastle and County Durham, Sheffield, Bristol and Sussex. If you'd like to tutor in-person, you'll need to be based in one of these areas. However, if you'd prefer online volunteering, you can volunteer from anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales.

About G.R.O.W
Growing Real Opportunities in the Workforce (G.R.O.W.) trains educators to empower their students to align who they are with what they want to do. GROW's curriculum does this by taking students through a fluid process of self-awareness, exploration of careers and the tools for students to be able to achieve their goals. Research has shown that programs that focus on career education and strengths-based self-assessment can help prevent dropouts and increase students’ academic performance. We reach youth at a critical time in their development, embed confidence in their ability to contribute to society, and introduce careers in emerging sectors that most youth are unaware of.

G.R.O.W.’s programs were developed to empower underserved and at-risk youth to take ownership of their education, careers, and futures. We help student identify their internal compass before starting the career preparation process. By doing so students have a clear understanding of WHERE they are headed and WHY.

Caseworkers have told us that our class has transformed students in all aspects of their lives and has deeply impacted their social-emotional development. One student commented that the class "saved her life." Another student said after taking our class he understood for the first time the importance of school and is now engaged in the classroom.

Get involved and help us touch more lives!

Do you think today’s students could benefit from more experiences as productive problem solvers? Or should they enhance their abilities to think critically and creatively? Well, those are just a couple benefits emerging from student participation in science-fair activities. We invite you to get involved in our effort to empower the youth of Weld, Larimer, and Jackson counties to engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics pursuits through science fair participation at the regional level.

The Longs Peak Science & Engineering Fair (LPSEF), a 501(c)(3) organization, is the only Colorado science fair serving Weld, Larimer, and Jackson County 5th thru 12th grade students. Each year, over 2500 students from our region participate in school and district fairs determined to move on to regional competition at the LPSEF. We anticipate ~350 student entrants at the 2020 event, all striving to advance to higher-level competition at the state and international fairs. Winning at any level provides a propitious boost to a student scientist or engineer’s future. As most non-profits do, we rely on the community coming together to make the LPSEF work — and to keep it a high-quality, well-respected regional competition. In addition to monetary support and awards, nearly 200 engineers, scientists, educators, and college students are needed to adequately judge the anticipated 350 student researchers who will present ~300 innovative science-fair projects at the 2020 event on Wednesday, February 26th.

The February 26th fair will again be held at the Island Grove Event Center in Greeley, Colorado. The success of the fair depends on both increased and new donor support as well as increased volunteerism.

Your involvement is not limited to cash and merchandise gifts—donations of time and expertise are also highly valued. On the day of the event—Wednesday, February 26—you and/or your employees can get directly involved by volunteering as display inspectors and project judges. By clicking on this link, you can register in just a couple minutes: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDqbeg8eyk80BECcYUrwu9QLSg6TFbkNp9rXDUBBLll7HPNA/viewform

You can help enrich students’ lives—perhaps budding inventors, engineers, mathematicians, or researchers who one day may affect countless people’s lives—by working with the LPSEF to enhance the 21st Century skills of today’s regional youth and to stimulate their interest in STEM-related fields.
