Just a bit curious here....all the FLL teams we've helped with or others have started in our rural community have disbanded, after only a couple of years, because there's no mentor support.

It seems a bit of a waste of energy for us to try to set up workshops to attract kids to FLL, when we have no adults to lead them.

We concentrate on building good relationships with our sponsors, doing lots of community service projects that are relative to STEM, and just hoping that we can get more parents hooked on participating.

I'd like to see a thread on how we can get more industries to contribute mentor time....our local industries give us money, but they keep their engineers on a rotating swing schedule, which makes it hard to get them to volunteer, even when their kids are on our team.
