Re: Question of the Week!!! (9/12/04)
 

45 has a call out meeting at the high school. Then, we take some of em' to FSR. We also hold some shop time so that they can learn to use the machines. We just need to know how to recruit more girls. :rolleyes:

We also have some team building activities. Like paintball, bowling or go-karting. It's great fun!

Re: Question of the Week!!! (9/12/04)
 

We hold a Monday meeting after school every week and have announcements for the first few weeks of school over the PA system to recruit kids that aren't in a tech-ed class. The kids in tech-ed classes like electronics and tech drafting get applications and "sales pitches" (if you will) from the teachers, who also run the robotics team.

Students themselves also promote the team by seeking out interested students, especially in their science and math classes. Compliments of Ricky Q. and at least 4 other team members in my first semester physics class last year, i was able to join team 269.

Great timing on their part and mine since we have handed out nearly 100 applications this year alone to fill just 15 open spots on the designated "team" (though we always encourage interested students to assist in fundraising, attend meetings, and come to learning sessions for driving, designing, and 3D modeling since every little bit helps!)
