Chief Delphi is a great resource, but it doesn't always have the solution. There is a lot of great advice here, but if you don't know why the students aren't engaged, you can't solve the root cause.

I'm not sure if I missed it, but how many mentors do you have and how engaged are they in the entire season?
We have 2 Engineers as mentors, and 2 parents who are mentors.
One engineer is engaged all the time, the other comes once in a while. Both parents are full time.

We'd ask, if they'd show up to even the catch up meetings. It's gotten that bad. The general consensus seems to be that since build season is over nobody really cares anymore.
