Our high school has an open house at the high school for parents to check out what the school is like and has to offer sometime in the fall. We make the information available to parents (of course stressing the things they like to hear about college and scholarships). They can then encourage their kids to join, and at the very least we've told other members of our community about what we do. Having parents who know about the club is a great step to get the students AND the parents involve in the organization if they do decide to join. Getting parents involved is something that goes a long way toward making the long weekend days of the build season bearable...the robot would not get done without those lunches!

Heck, it was my mom's pestering along with some of my friends' pestering at the time that got me to one of those meetings. I've been hooked ever since. We do this because it works.
