Teacher

From FIRSTwiki

Teachers, Mentors and Parents make up the non-student aspect of FIRST Robotics Competition team. FRC teams are in most cases supported by a school, to some degree, though some do exist independant of educational institutions. The sterotype original sponsoring teacher is a mathematics, physics, engineering or other science teacher, though by all means, not all teachers are.

The two types of Teachers are Engineering and Non-engineering (see NEMO the Non-Engineering Mentors Orangization for more info). Engineering teachers support the team by providing assistance with CAD, design and construction as well as non-engineering tasks. Non-engineering mentors contribute to the program by helping students with their chairmans award entry, animation, fundraising and team coordination and theming. Neither list of jobs is complete by any means, and in many cases, Teachers jobs may overlap.
