What is success?
Is it a victory on the field? Is it a trophy or banner?
Is it doubling the number of students (compared to the past for the area served by the team) who choose a STEM vocation after grade school?
Is it evolving into a K-12 spectrum of diverse STEM programs that involves 20% of the area's students, at one time or another, in a non-trivial, out-of-class, STEM activity (biology, meteorology, FLL, VIQ, FTC, VRC, FRC, BEST, AUSV, SeaPerch, Cyber Defense, rocketry/drones, Eco/Solar House, ...)?
Is it simply percolating along, annually involving 5% of a school in an inspirational STEM activity, while staying on budget and on schedule?
Is it playing a key role in convincing families and businesses that they want to move into an area because children will get a good education there?
What is success for FRC???
What does your School Board think success is?
Is it reminding the community to re-elect the school board, because the board "gets it"?

PS: If it all gets too complicated, just return to the basics. Expose as many *students* as you can, to fun opportunities, that didn't exist for *them* before the team(s) existed.
