The Huskie Brigade has 5 teams at the middle school next to the high school and was working with some at another school in Pontiac. It is a great way to get new students on a team accustomed to the FIRST arena if you don't have an outlet like OCCRA. You need to find out who all of your local "big-wigs" are for Lego- find out when and where you sanctioned regionals are and talk to the people coordinating those. You should have about 5 or 6 students on each team, this normally is easily pulled off and you can have lots of teams this way. In Michigan, I know of a few that are ran at the El. level- I believe there is a team from both Harvey Swanson and H.T. Burt elementaries in Brandon Township (The schools are right across the parking lot from one another) and this team is large and very loud- they are well-coordinated and have great spirit. Search for some in your area that can help you get going, even if they are at the junior level.
