Sure Mausam. You could use the following blurb. Let me know if you need more information.
A group of students from a Seattle STEM Public High School, will be participating in the First Robotics Competition, FRC (http://www.usfirst.org/
With the goal of providing all the support from the local community, we are looking for 2 or 3 young Comp Sc graduates/employees, to create a team of mentors to help the students in the area of software development. A group of engineers from Boeing will help on the mechanical engineering side of the project. Most high schools have parent volunteers who help with this, which is unfortunately not the case here.
The group is scheduled to meet 2 hours (3pm-5pm) Tues/Wed/Thurs during Jan and Feb.
This will be a great way of making a difference in the local community. Please consider this opportunity and if you are interested contact Usha Rao at ushatrao@yahoo.com or 425-830-4830.
Thanks,
Usha
