Robotics Team 60

One last post about camp because without THESE young adults, we couldn’t make Team 60’s FLL Camp successful! This year we did something new and let some of the older PM campers come in during the AM session and help mentor the younger kids. Between these kiddos, KAHS Roaring Robotics members, Team 60 members and a few other friends, camp was a huge success this year! We Team 60 mentors oversee the camp and take care of back office stuff, but these kiddos, they make it happen and fun for the campers year after year!

KAHS Roaring Robotics FTC Team 14436 - we truly couldn’t pull this off without the help of your team members! These young adults come in not knowing anything about the new game and help mentor the campers. They are always patient with the kids and come in with smiles on their faces and ready to assist with whatever is needed. Parents and admin from Kingman Academy, you should be proud of these young adults! Thank you for sharing them with us and allowing them to be a part of our FLL camp each year!

A big thanks to our very own Team 60 members! These brilliant minds come up with a theme, create a game, design the game board, come up with the rules and all the pieces that go on the board for each year’s camp. All of this happens within a very short timespan (usually 5 or 6 meetings) as we are just coming off of the end of our build season along with the end of school and whatever community service events they are helping out at. So very proud and thankful for these Team 60 kids and all they do!

Watching all these young adults interact with each other and the campers is inspiring! We as adults don’t always open up and work well with others we don’t know, but these students make it look so effortless. Thank you for all you do and keep being great human beings!

Had to make a separate post for this part of yesterday’s events at camp. We love when alumni and their parents stop back in or help with whatever we have going on (we have THE BEST parents and alumni). Nina got us yesterday! She text us saying she found us a judge for competition and he’d be there when we needed him. Never in a million years did we expect Robert to come walking in! Great surprise Nina and Robert! Robert fell right back into Team 60 mode, working with the other mentors in judging and competing against the campers! Robert is on his last year at Embry Riddle where he is getting his aeronautical engineering degree and playing golf. Please stop by any time Robert, you are always welcome back at your Team 60 home!

Thank you Nina for all you have done and continue to do for Team 60! We know we can always count on your support of what we do! It is always great to catch up with you on what the kids (well, actually young adults now) are doing and talking with you. On a side note, thank you for the test drive! You are truly the best! We love you Nina!
