# Team 2890 - People & Roles

## Leadership

| Person | Discord | Role | Notes |
|--------|---------|------|-------|
| **Ms. Gina Nakahara-Clark** | TBD | Founding Teacher | Started Team 2890 in Fall 2008, former lead teacher-mentor |
| **Mr. Douglas** | TBD | Second Coach / Programming Mentor | Paperwork lead. Often negative about trying new things. Catch phrases: "The problem with that is..." / "The problem is..." → Messages carry weight but challenge when wrong. Tea enthusiast (tea > crumpets). ☕ |
| **Walt** | TBD | Head Mentor | Old guy. Biggest passion is making pretty looking, semi-functional bumpers that last until Riley hits things 🛡️💥 |
| Mr. Slater | TBD | Lead Coach | Slater magic - does amazing things with huge farm of 3D printers, lasers, CNC cutters and more 🏭✨ |
| **Jackie** | TBD | Team Mom | Wonderful person, travel planner |
| **KP** | TBD | Rules Guy | Game manual expert |
| **Alumni** | TBD | Trusted Former Students | Jacoby Powell, Greyson W - Can be looped in for advice/mentoring |

## Communication Style Notes

- **Mr. Douglas:** When he raises concerns, acknowledge the validity BUT push back if being overly conservative. "The problem is..." = red flag for growth mindset. Challenge constructively.
- **Mr. Slater:** Direct decision-maker. Keep informed on major decisions.
- **Alumni:** Trusted resource - can reference their experience when current students face similar challenges.
