Heres some tips from me.
1. Get to know the editor of your local newspaper. It helps if you are often doing volunteer stuff.
2. Get a knowlegdeable person (like 957's amazing Mr. Cunningham) to and a couple of people to meet with the editor or reporter of the newspaper.
3. Make sure to stress scholarship opportunities for girls and the importance of having girls on the team. This makes it much more likely that you will get attention.
4. If you are trying to drum up attention to make a local team, it is best to be a helper in a nearby team. Like me
.
5. Bug people at your school about FIRST. Become friends with a higher up (i.e. superintendent), teachers and anyone with a good work ethic.
6. Better your community. You are far more likely to get money, attention, and workers that way. For example, you could have a canned food drive.
7. Don't just talk about it, get girls interested in FIRST. An all guy team seems sexist and old fashioned. Besides, in my experience girls have a point of view that should be listened to.
8. Don't forget to get guys interested too.
9. Write an article for your school paper about FIRST.
10. Get
ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE involved in fundraising. If a sandwich sale in a town of 8185 can get $4000
profit , then your town can too.
