Interested in Judging a Robotics Competition?

Hey Members,
A friend of mine that works at San Jacinto College is looking for college students to judge a robotics competition on Friday, 2/3, Saturday, 2/4 and/or Saturday, 3/3. All days are 7:30am to 5pm, and they will provide a shirt (they will need a shirt size) and food (breakfast and lunch).

I thought some of the IEEE members may be interested. Can you please pass this along through the Cougar Paw listserv and ask interested students to contact Nelson Carter at Nelson.Carter@sjcd.edu.

Thank you for your help with this.
