Might I suggest you try something like this: http://www.team1551.org/STier.html ?

The going is slower than my ambitious little brain would like, but we've successfully started one team, have more students from another school on our team now, and other schools are contacting us about how to get involved. The beauty of STier is that you only need your own school's permission, and the permission of parents -- the school districts they're from don't need to do anything until they've got a constituency beating down their door with corporate sponsorship and volunteers and eager students all lined up. (And failing that, you can still go 4H!)
