Austin, new chapter interest

Good morning all, I have browsed through different posts and some of the links are broken and can’t find the information I’m looking for.
I am a pediatric rehab physician and Chief of the peds rehab program at Dell Children’s and Dell Medical School. I am very interested in potentially starting a new chapter (can’t find any info that one exists in Austin - if so let me know who to contact!!!).
I would be very grateful if someone can share the information about how to start a new chapter, make it successful and collaborate with local engineering department to build best practices. A group of us (physicians, therapists, etc) are very interested in partnering and making this happen.

Hi! I wanted to share a helpful resource with you—Chris Girardo created a great how-to guide for starting a GoBabyGo chapter as part of his capstone project. It is written for Widener University, but still provides helpful steps and guidance for getting a chapter up and running.

I’m also a doctoral OT student based in Austin and have been involved with GoBabyGo in various capacities. If you have any questions or need any support, I’d be happy to help however I can! My email is jmjff3@umsystem.edu.

Best,
Jenna Jadlot

Hello! I’m an M4 at Texas A&M EnMed and the erstwhile President of our GBG chapter here in Houston (in cooperation with TWU). I know TCH-Austin would also be interested in having access to a program (just finished rotating at in peds/PMR at TCH Houston) if there’s anything I can do to help please reach out!

Hi! If anyone in the Austin, Texas area is interested in having GoBabyGo! cars at their facility, feel free to reach out at frcviperbots@gmail.com. We currently have a chapter on our robotics team and are excited to expand our program!
