"Changing the culture, one nut and bolt at a time"

Our Establishment & History of ION

Our team was established in 2007. Since our beginning as a 10-person team, we have been an active member of the metropolitan New York FIRST community. Now, with a team over 100 members, we are always looking for ways to reach out to our international colleagues to form alliances of support, education and collaboration. The International Outreach Network (ION) is the initiative that incorporates all our efforts to make that a reality.

Our Goals of ION

- To organize our variety of international outreach efforts under one umbrella and expand efforts to assist international teams coming to the New York area to compete.

- To become a clearinghouse and mentor partner technically, socially and emotionally for teams traveling to our location and this who reach out to us virtually.

- To spread our CAD self study program to teams who want to educate their members.
