Hey Team 4293!

The safety training on the 19th went great, and a big thanks to everyone who attended!

I would like to remind everyone that our second mandatory safety meeting is next week, on Saturday, November 9th.  All students who didn't attend the training on October 19th will need to attend, or they won't be able to use the machines in the shop.  Safety is a big part of both FIRST and Team Komodo, and we want everyone to be able to use those awesome machines, so please make an effort to attend.  The meeting will be at the machine shop again (directions below)


Also, a reminder to all students who haven't turned in their team contract yet.  Please turn those in soon, either by email or at the safety training.  The signed team contracts need to be turned in to Ashley.

Directions to the shop:

Hello Team 4293! We are happy to announce an awesome opportunity for the team coming up in a few days.  There is an opportunity to learn both Creo and MathCad, and we would encourage all of you to go if possible.  

Note, this is not a Team 4293 sponsored event.  This event is from FIRST and PTC directly.

The message came directly from FIRST's regional director, and states:

One of our FIRST sponsors, PTC, is offering a training event in Colorado.  PTC will be training FIRST teams and mentors on the engineering process utilizing their software packages Creo and Mathcad.  This software is included in the Kit of Parts.  The training will be held at Arrow Electronics (a new Colorado FIRST sponsor) on October 19th and 26th (same program both days) from 9AM - 4PM.  Lunch will be provided by Colorado FIRST.  This will be a comprehensive, hands-on training session, tailored for FIRST team mentors and team members. 

YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOPS AND COME TO THE TRAINING WITH THE CREO AND MATHCAD SOFTWARE INSTALLED.

Hello Team 4293!

We will be having two mandatory safety meetings for students to familiarize themselves with the shop and shop procedures.  They will be on October 19th, and November 9th from 9-11 am at the shop. (directions to the shop will be included below) Each student will be required to attend only one, but they must attend one to be able to work in the shop.  Both new and returning students must attend, as safety is a major part of every season.  

Also, a reminder to all students that, if your team contract has not been turned in to team mentors yet, it needs to be.  Please either email the form to a mentor or bring it to a safety meeting.
