Re: How do you deal with 60+ new members joining the team?

Cross-linking to a long-ish post I just added to a similar thread.

I am dismayed at how many posters (not all, but many) approach this sort of question from an FRC-only mindset.

Borrow some dynamite and blow yourself out of that rut! The universe of valuable extracurricular (and classroom) STEM programs is sooo much bigger than just FRC.

The vision of the programs is changing the fabrics of entire communities and societies. That involves hundreds of children, and the adults around them. The vision is not having one FRC team in each North American high school.

When you are blessed with an abundance of students, engage them in an abundance of activities offered by an abundance of STEM education organizations!
