“The Foundation is proud to support this unique educational experience and help provide an opportunity for creative and dedicated students to test their scientific skills in this robotics program.  The adult guidance of the many volunteers serves as a valuable mentorship relationship for the students.”

- Roni Johnson, President, Community Foundation of Muncie & Delaware County, Inc.

"After all the time spent learning what I know, it seems prudent to pass it along .... before I forget.  I can't imagine a better environment to do just that than the opportunity available thru FIRST and the Muncie Robotics team.  Helping others find purpose, building character and instilling confidence are just a few of the goals of the program.  And, we get to have fun in the process.  Why wouldn't people want to get involved in this valuable program?"

"Hall of Fame tennis legend Arthur Ashe put it another way: "From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life."

–Mike Koch, Ontario Systems, Lead Engineer

"Being a parent mentor for Team 1720 has allowed me to watch the kids learn new technology and how to apply it to robotics and everyday life. Learning to be a part of a team is also very rewarding, for both myself and the students.

–David Cassel, Parent Mentor
