Mentor Meetings and Team Training

Mentor Meetings are opportunities for mentors to get important program updates and ask questions of the FIRST Tech Challenge Alberta program organizers. Google Meet links to join are sent directly to all Lead Coach 1 and 2 team contacts. All meetings take place at 7:00 PM.

Team Training Sessions are opportunities for Mentors, and their students to learn and develop in new areas. While facilitated by FIRST Alberta, most of these will be hosted by volunteers or teams.
