Off-Season
**Viva Los Mentors**
This summer, FIRST Nevada is hosting Viva Los Mentors (vivalosmentors.org), a conference bringing FIRST Robotics Competition coaches and mentors together from across the country in partnership with UNLV.
No robots. No build pressure. Just coaches and mentors from around the world sharing what they’ve learned and building connections that last well beyond the season.
