Happy June! 

MONDAY, JUNE 4th - 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm  (3 days from NOW)
ORTOP evening at OMSI! See Robot Revolution 

Mentors, please forward the invite  to team members(team parents), your volunteer, mentors, sponsors. 
This does not need to be a team organized event---teams members, family, friends, supporters can come to this special event. Even if you don't download a ticket, come anyway! It's okay! Just say "Cathy invited me!"  No worries about the suggest donation, just come, we want to fill the place.


Resources for Team Planning on the ORTOP Website

I have been adding to the ORTOP website, specifically, the FTC Team Resources page. Here are the topics. Check back to the page for updates. As I find key links and more resources this is where I post them. 

***HOT TOPICS*** for FIRST Tech Challenge Oregon TEAMS

Hearing from you about  FIRST Tech Challenge Workshops 
Mentors, if you haven't taken our very brief survey about developing FIRST Tech Challenge Workshops, please do. If I receive few responses (which I have), I'll need to assume there is no interest in taking workshops and therefore no need to develop them. If you think there are enough resources already available, please tell us. 
  CAMPS, Workshops, FUN!  - Check it out! 
----One more slot open for the PCC Machine Shop Skills for August session 
----Many slots open for the Chick Tech Robotics BootCamp 
----Is your team offering a workshop or summer camp? Let us know, we'll post it.  We really would like to see some FTC workshops happening this summer. 









Congratulations to all of our FIRST Tech Challenge Seniors who are walkin' across the stage and collecting their hard earned high school diplomas. We are very proud of you and wish you the best of luck in your next endeavors.  Your FIRST life continues as FIRST Alum.  Sign up to receive notifications of events, networking opportunities and more. (Mentors please forward this to your seniors)
Formal School Recognition of FIRST Tech Challenge Students - Varsity Pins, etc 
Also - I would like to hear from anyone whose school honors FIRST Tech Challenge students with Varsity Pins, or other formal recognition.  Please email me and share what the school does and what process you needed to go through to make it happen.
