VolunteeringA former Boy Scout and Explorer Scout leader, Dr. Bekey continues to volunteer with middle school and high school students. He is a mentor for the Arroyo Grande High School robotics team, which competes in the national For Inspiration and Recognition of Technology (FIRST) contest each year. FIRST is a “varsity sport of the mind” that involves building robots from standard parts, to demanding specifications, in limited time. Dr. Bekey also has served on a regional FIRST judging panel. In addition, he speaks on robots and gives demonstrations for middle school students, and is popular with friends’ young children for passing along various way-cool robots. |
