Volunteers Needed!
War Eagle BEST is almost entirely staffed by volunteers from Auburn University, civic groups, the community, local industry, local and state government, and the State Department of Education.We gladly welcome all individuals and groups that want to be a part of this worthwhile, rewarding, and incredibly fun experience! No experience is required and we provide training.
Here’s where we need volunteers:
Team mentors – helping a participating school’s robotics team through the six-week “design and construction” phase leading up to the competition itself. Learn more here
Competition judges – judging the numerous awards categories on “Game Day” (most categories are non-technical and all are fun to judge). Learn more here
Event Personnel – helping run the Game Day operation, including such areas as registration, hospitality, merchandise sales, refereeing, scorekeeping, and game operations.
The competition utilizes 30 to 50 volunteers to help make the all day event run smoothly--you receive training and a t-shirt, we feed you well, and you get to be part of a high-energy, positive and rewarding experience! No judging experience or engineering/technical degree is required.
