“Seeing mentors from teams we work with and mentors and kids from teams we didn’t know, it really drove home what family first is,” Jack Grayber a FIRST coach, says in the video.
Since Kendrick’s death, his robotics team's membership has grown from 25 to more than 50. There's also been more interest from parents and community members to volunteer to mentor, Jeff Lamb, a mentor with STEM 4418 Impulse, said.“Kendrick was one of these guys who loved technology. He was a car guy, a computer guy, a hands-on building guy,” Lamb said.
When he was close to graduation, Kendrick told his father he wanted to bring robotics to those less fortunate than him. While he was in Catholic school, teachers would take their classes to underserved communities to tutor children and to get a lesson in giving back. It resonated with Kendrick.
RIP to this young hero 💔
