One of the things you could do for the Middle School is start a FTC team. One of the things you could do is have each FRC team start a FTC team. Not only does this help with Chairman's but it also helps teach your FRC members more leadership skills. This is a step up from the Lego NXT, and still lets to you teach VEX in your high school classes without having student's feel like they've done it before. Not only that, but it introduces your middle schoolers to FIRST rather then them coming into it at the high school level.

We, team 68, are starting a FTC team at our middle school this upcoming year. If you need any details on how to start one I can put you in contact with my team leader.
