year. Our professional engineering mentors graciously volunteer
hundreds of hours to teach and guide our students. Adult volunteers,
teachers and parents also mentor our students and add to the overall
quality of their CRUSH experience. Each student will hopefully receive high
school credit for their involvement in CRUSH through the Infinity
Engineering Course taught in superb high schools and colleges around
the United States. Designing, fabricating and building robots each year
provides students with practical application of academic principles taught
in class, interpersonal skills necessary for successful team collaboration
and time management.
Our team members will experience increased self-esteem and confidence
and experience character building projects through our community
outreach programs, mentoring and volunteer opportunities serving the
Tucson area. They will enjoy the thrill of competition allowing them to see
the fruits of their labor. They will get hands on experience running a team
and fundraising for it giving them valuable tools in their future. Finally,
they will be introduced to recruiters form superb engineering and
technology colleges offering over $5,000,000.00 in scholarships each
year.
