For this week's sponsor spotlight we will be celebrating Bossard, Inc.. Besides just monetary donations they also donated a Creality K2 Plus 3D printer along with all of its accessories. We’ve also enjoyed opportunities to chat with them while we were at Fabtech last year and IMTS this year. They offered career advice and guidance both times which helped many people who went to those events narrow down their career goals. Thank you Bossard, your help and support over these years has made a significant impact on our team. We can’t wait to see where our partnership goes next!

Our mentor spotlight for this week is all about Matthew Pipho. He is Coach two for Wired Up, and he specializes in the programming department! He has been with FIRST for four years since 2022. Over this time he has coached 5 different FLL teams, with this being his first time coaching an FTC team. He works at John Deere Financial as a Software Engineer. He has been with John Deere for 28 years! His favorite part of robotics is seeing the students realize they can solve problems much more complicated than they originally thought they could. He’s also enjoyed watching the program grow and give an opportunity for kids to explore their interests outside of school and athletics. His dedication to teaching kids the value of critical thinking has allowed many kids to realize their potential and we can’t wait to see how Matthew continues to help all of us learn and grow over time.
