The FIRST Ladies of Robotics event is part of a double bill next month at the DECC.  It's taking place right alongside the Duluth Double-Decker Regional FIRST Robotics Event.

120 teams, almost three thousand kids, meeting with professionals and mentors and creating community, and through it all, practicing principles of "gracious professionalism" and "co-oper-tition:" the perfect blend of cooperation and competition.

Katherine Rasley (her email is here) can answer questions about getting involved in FIRST, the IEEE Arrowhead group, or Women in Engineering and STEM (WiES).

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
