Diane VDG
Mrs. Van der Grinten has mentored Apple Pi since its first season in 2006. She became interested in FIRST because her father is Mr. Bishop, the team founder, and she found the various facets of robotics, such as mechanics, math, and technology, to be fascinating. As part of the Apple Pi Robotics team, she enjoys getting to know the students outside of the school atmosphere, meeting the challenges of maintaining the team and promoting ongoing success, and being part of the gratifying and worthwhile FIRST experience.
