Welcome to the GEARED UP: Mentor Conference, where innovation meets inspiration!
Join us on May 17, 2025, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Kossiakoff Center, for a day filled with knowledge-sharing, networking, and empowerment.
This conference is proudly presented by Aramco America and aims to equip mentors with the tools and insights needed to effectively guide an increasingly diverse generation of students.
Why build one great team when you can build a family of them? In this forward-looking session, FIRST HQ’s newest Business Development Manager, Isriah Keila, explores the concept of “sibling teams” as a strategy for sustainability and program growth.
Learn how creating FTC and FRC sibling teams—or forming alliances across schools and age groups—can boost retention, leadership development, and community buy-in. Whether you’re from a single-team school or a district with room to grow, this session will help you think expansively about your team’s future.
