FRC Workshops hosted by SOTABots 2557

The SOTAbots are hosting an FRC Workshop November 15 (Saturday). 

• The workshop is at IDEA High School: 6701 S. Park Ave, Tacoma, WA 98408 
• The workshop will be from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM (Though if there are enough teams and sessions, the hours could be extended) 
• The workshop is free and open to all teams.  
• If a team would like to teach a lesson (or two) at the workshop, please indicate by using the appropriate link below! 

  We would like teams to let us know if they are attending and how many team members they are planning to bring so we can plan accordingly.

Boeing Grant is open! 

The grant is open October 20 through November 14th or until all funds are exhausted.  If you have a Boeing Mentor, I encourage you all to apply early for 2 reasons: 

• To ensure you are allocated funding before it runs out (this happened to many of our FRC teams a few years ago) 

• With the grant opening so late, to ensure your funding has been allocated prior to event registration closing.  When we do invoices, we have to apply grant funding based on how FIRST has applied those funds.  If your Boeing funds don’t show as applied on FIRST’s end when we invoice, they will not show on your FIRST Washington invoice.  You will have to wait until FIRST opens their regrant window and will have to request a regrant to access those funds. 

Your Boeing Mentor should have access to the grant through an internal system.
