STEM Bridge Mentor Hub & Community Chapters

The STEM Bridge Mentor Hub is a community-driven resource for FTC and FLL teams during the competition season. Led by experienced coaches, mentors, student leaders, and robotics teams, the Hub provides hands-on guidance in mechanics, electronics, coding, and competition preparation.

​

Who It’s For

• Rookie Teams: Build skills and strategy confidence

• Independent Students: Start or join a FIRST team

• Competitive Teams: Sharpen mechanics, programming, etc.

• Parents & Mentors: Learn to coach, mentor and lead 

 

Community Mentor Chapters

 

Open your garage or workspace to support the FIRST community. By joining as a Mentor Chapter, your team can:

• Support local rookie teams

• Connect with the broader FIRST/STEM community

• Share expertise and experience

• Expand STEM opportunities for under-resourced and underrepresented students

 

Flexible Participation

Mentor rookie teams by appointment or during walk-in hours.
Host Open Visit Day(s) for interested students and families.

There’s no fixed format—participate in the way that works best for your team.

 

How It Works

• Submit your team information to be listed on our website for visibility (team number, team name, city, contact e-mail, Brief Description of Mentoring Support Offered)

• Offer mentoring sessions during the competition season (weekly or flexible)

• Teams operate independently
