MEET OUR MENTORS

The people who taught us what we know

Thank you to the backbone of our team!

FIRST Robotics Team 2471 students work with engineering and business mentors to guide them as they design and build their robots and market the team. Our mentors have received Community Leadership Awards from the Washington Association of School Administrators for their involvement with 2471 and the community.
