Returning students only have a few steps to renew their membership with the team for the upcoming season:
- Verify that you and one of your parents/guardians are registered on the FIRST Inspires website. Simply log in to the FIRST account that you previously created at https://www.firstinspires.org/ The “Login” button is at the upper right. Once you are logged on, verify that you are connected to Team 151.
- Fill in the form at https://forms.gle/QA6NSzCQSEh1vNY16
- Pay your membership fee. The fee this year is $162, but $100 is refundable through calendar sales. In other words, you are buying ten raffle calendars at the beginning of the season, which you can keep for yourself or re-sell to others to get the $100 back. This fulfills your 10 calendar sale requirement, but we hope you will sell more to earn more money for the team. Pay your membership by credit card online at https://nhs-tough-tech-151-boosters.square.site/product/one-season-individual-membership/83 Be sure to fill in your name or we won’t know who the payment is for! If you wish to pay by cash or check, see the mentor at registration. As always, if this fee is a problem for you, please talk to the lead mentor about arranging an alternative or having the fee waived.
- Log on to your team Slack account and post a message on the #attendance channel that you are rejoining the team. We look forward to seeing you again!
If you have any problems, you can contact us on your Slack account. If that isn’t working for you for some reason then contact us at toughtechs151@gmail.com. Meeting this season will be from 6:30 PM-9:30 PM on Mondays and Thursdays at Make It Labs. Full meetings will be starting Sept. 7th, 2023.
