FTC Tuesday’s with Kevin 3:00 – 4:30 pm
Have FTC questions or just want to hang out with FTC people? Join Kevin Ross on Tuesdays at 3pm Pacific for a 90 minute Q&A session.
Kevin is the Founding Chairman of FIRST Washington. He is a FIRST mentor going into his 22 year. He can help with mechanical, electrical, programming, judging, team organization, and can make all sorts of inappropriate jokes and bad puns to help your team succeed. No question is too simple or too complex. Feel free to come for a couple of questions, or stay for the entire time. Open to anyone in the FIRST community.
This meeting will be every Tuesday 3pm to 4:30pm.

We need your help
Last week I sent an email to all FTC Coaches, parents and students asking them to join our mailing list. I am able to do this once a year and allow families to “opt in” My goal is to be able to communicate things (like the virtual pits & Tuesday’s with Kevin) directly and not have to go through you. To do this successfully, I may need your help! Could you reach out to your team and ask them to fill out this form which will put them on our mailing list?
Thanks for the help!
FIRST Washington Grant
Just a reminder that the FIRST Washington grant is still open but will be closing the end of December. This is how we are able to allocate the funds we have collected to your teams (and for this year ensure you have a MUCH smaller invoice!) I realize many of you may not know your team demographics or budget for this year, that’s ok! Feel free to either use your school demographics (if you are affiliated with a school) or use your info from last year. The grant does not take long to fill out so don’t waste time, fill it out today! To access the grant, click here
