Coaches Chat Tuesday, October 27, 7:00 pm
Please join us for our October coaches chat on Tuesday, October 27 at 7:00 pm. We want this to be a conversation where you share your ideas and work together as a group. To keep it productive, we would love for you to fill out this form with a topic you would like to focus on. We will pick two or 3 (based on popularity) each time we meet to start off the conversation. This is a great way for you to connect with your fellow coaches and mentors.

iGrant is open, closes Nov 2nd! If you are a public school in Washington, it is important you apply for this grant and register this season. There are lots of things you can use those funds for even if you don’t build a robot.
