Folks, some of our mentors serve on the Board of Directors for Build, RVA a large community based Makerspace in Scott's Addition. Build had decided to form two FIRST Robotics Teams, and FLL Challenge team (students ages 7 to 13) and FTC team (students ages 12-18). If you are interested in getting your student on one of those teams I invite you to attend the next Build, RVA Open House on June 11th from 5-7 PM. Mentors will be there to discuss the formation and expectations of students joining the team. Build, RVA is located in Scott's Addition at 3301-D Rosedale Ave, Richmond, VA 23230.
