You may also want to make sure that your team understands the scope of what is required to participate, so build season doesn't throw everyone off. If you have any questions, please post them here or pm me.
Yeah, that's one of the things we're going to try to start off with. We'll be making sure that during the fall, we establish student leaders for the various disciplines. We don't have any students yet, and will be recruiting in the fall, but the teachers and administration predict a lot of interest. We're also going to try to come up with a good statement of involvement, so kids both know what they're getting into, and clear expectations are set.
