Re: What is Your Team's Application Process?
We are looking at doing it this year as well to get our team down to ~25 members. Being a 4-H based team (and having a long history with 4-H), this is kind of a hard thing for me to do as a mentor as I believe this is a form of discriminating students against joining, especially considering we only have 1 FTC team in the county freely available to join and our members mentor like 5 FLL teams.
My question for those who have implemented the process, how do you evaluate/rank/select the applications in an unbiased way? I've been thinking about having our captain/co-captain create a "member" number that we can use to prevent names from being on the forms and on the outreach hours/shop hours spreadsheets. Is this a good way to evaluate applications? Additionally, I'm planning on putting our application & evaluation/ranking/selection criteria up on our website as well to be transparent about it.
If we do interviews, I really like the idea of entrance/application interviews and then for veteran members doing performance interviews.
