Mentors:

My name is Carmen McIntyre. I started out with FTC in 2012 when my son became one of the original members of the 1st Cedar Falls FTC team 6420. Today I am the coach of 6420 and the head coach over all 6 Cedar Falls teams. I also help 3 other teams with programming. I really enjoy helping out in this roll.
