The Team
"Once a PowerStacker,
always a PowerStacker!" |
We are the PowerStackers First Tech Challenge team 5029. This is our 12th year together. Though not everyone has a profile, our team consists of many people. We have 5 branches that are on the team: students, coaches, mentors, student trainees, mentor trainees.
This year, we have 6 students on the team. Our coach is Terence Chu and our assistant coach is Caroline Buckey. We have many mentors in different fields. Some of our best mentors were PowerStacker students, but have now aged out of FIRST programs. We also have parent mentors and find sponsors that are knowledgeable to help run our team. Student trainees are students that are younger than First Tech Challenge age, but are interested in our team. They can help with pretty much anything our team has to do, but they are not yet team members. Mentor trainees are the oldest and most knowledgeable students. These are usually high school juniors and seniors with a lot of experience that haven't aged out of First Tech Challenge yet, they are still students, but they spend a lot of time teaching new and younger students. |
