About Us:
We are Penticton Robotics, a Penticton based FIRST robotics team meeting out of Princess Margaret Secondary. The Penticton Robotics Team is a diverse, student-led team of high school students with the vision and dream of representing School District 67 at the regional FIRST robotics competition on March 1st, 2024, in Victoria, British Columbia.

The large-scale event is known worldwide as FIRST or “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.” FIRST is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to preparing and leading the next generation of youth into the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Role Description:
Mentors are expected to provide some hands on guidance and share their professional expertise with students although decisions and work is primarily done by the students.
As a mentor, you will play a pivotal role in guiding our team through the exciting journey of building a competitive robot. Your expertise will help students gain practical knowledge in various areas such as robotics design, mechanical engineering, electronics, programming, and more. Additionally, you will help them understand the intricacies of business management and marketing.
You don't have to be knowledgeable in all the mentioned fields. Even contributing to just one department would make you a valuable addition to our team of mentors.
