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.
Moving from FLL to FTC can feel like a leap—but it doesn’t have to be. Join experienced coaches Ryan Rich and Suseendran Natarajan for a down-to-earth conversation about how to guide students (and mentors) through this transition with confidence and continuity.
You’ll learn about timing, training, mindset shifts, and how to preserve what students love about FLL while embracing the exciting challenges of FTC.
