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 20 - Judge’s training dinner – night before the first day of the event at the venue.
- March 21 and March 22 : 7:30 am - 6:00 pm (or until competition ends)
- 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

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS IN CHIOS

Action for Education are looking for teachers and youth workers to join our project from December onwards.

We are the the largest voluntary run education service for children and youth stuck on Chios Island, Greece. At the most basic level, we fulfil a fundamental right of children - to access education. In Chios, young people over 14 are continually denied access to the formal education system run by the Greek Government and there are no immediate plans to integrate the young people arriving into Europe into the local education system.

We have seen just how successful our programme is and want to continue it until the Government establishes a formal procedure for educating the youth here. We run a High School and a Youth Centre in the city centre of Chios.

If you would like to volunteer with us, please check the requirements below.

Requirements:
- Experience teaching English either in a formal school setting or in non-formal education settings.
- Experience working with youth in either a youth centre,
summer camps or sport programmes.
- Can commit to at least 6 weeks volunteering in Greece.

We provide shared accommodation on the Island.
If you would like to apply, please visit www.actionforeducation.co.uk/volunteer.
