Through mentor-guided, hands-on training, students gain technical skills, and along with teamwork, problem solving and communication experiences, they become better prepared for success in school and the workforce. East Central Indiana Robotics uses its capital equipment portfolio and facility to train students in the skills they will need in the technology workforce. ECIR is a community based organization, drawing from local high schools and home school students. Each year about 15 mentors teach and train 30 to 35 students in their respective areas of expertise. Mentors are industry professionals, covering skills such as CAD, 3-d printing, CNC lathe and mill operation, welding, woodworking, electronics, programming, media design, photography, videography, web development, and marketing. Each January, our parent organization, FIRST Robotics, reveals a new game plan. Member robotics teams, like ECIR, have 2 months to design and build a competitive robot for district, state, and even world competitions. After competitions in the first quarter of the year, there are off-season competitions and opportunities for community service projects. The learning never stops, and students continue to build their skills, guided by mentors in preparation for the next year. 0 56280 56280 Shawn VanNess President 15 0 0 0 Michael Koch Vice-President 25 0 0 0 Lisa Ritchie Secretary 5 0 0 0 Julia Schlenker Treasurer 15 0 0 0 Justin Charette Director 10 0 0 0 Todd Lail Director 10 0 0 0 Bruce Howard Director 10 0 0 0 Frank Braswell Director 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IN Julia Schlenker PO Box 202 Matthews IN 46957 7652890212 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 35420 26586 17624 40560 29594 149784 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 35420 26586 17624 40560 29594 149784 45500 104284 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 149784 19693 0.69623 0.72779 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Tools;31036|Trailer;2710|Competition Travel;10028|Competition Registration;7872|Robot Parts;9248|Computer;1424|Insurance;1369^Total;63687^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 There is a difference because we were awarded some unusual grants.
