On July 16, 2018, I traveled to Eglin Air Force Base in Ft. Walton, Florida to participate in the USAF/ FIRST Leadership Experience. It was an amazing 3-day leadership experience where I learned about Air Force leadership development and professionalism. This presentation shares my experiences and key takeaways from my training.

The U.S. Air Force develops leaders of remarkable character and vision. For the 8th year, the U.S. Air Force is offering a unique three-day leadership program providing FIRST mentors with hands on leadership training taught by Air Force personnel.

Throughout the three-day experience, mentors will attend lectures, take part in team building exercises, and tour a local Air Force Base. The Air Force will select a group of 24 teachers and mentors from FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST Robotics Competition teams who are helping inspire today’s youth to become the technical leaders of tomorrow.

I was selected to participate in this leadership program as part of my mentorship to the Tennessee Robotics Club with 

FIRST Robotics.
