Re: Curriculum for training students?

Evan - What do you think about trying to get together a meeting of team leadership (both student and mentor) from some of the stronger teams in the area to talk about this issue (probably sometime after States)? I'm sure I could convince my team to host such a gathering (we're moving into our new STEM center build space on Saturday, we'd love to show it off!), and we could focus less on what each of our teams does to train new students up (although we should still share that info), and more on how we get that information out to other teams. Do we put together a website dedicated to training methods? Do we divide up a list of local teams so we can each get in touch with some of them directly? The MN Splash event is a great way to reach a lot of teams in a short period of time, but it comes fairly late in the fall and doesn't have any hands-on building experience.
