Our school district has implemented a different program at each of its 4 high schools, and our high school has an Aerospace & Engineer program which draws kids in form all over the city. In each of the 4 classes at Olathe Northwest there are roughly 100 students involved in the program. My school has a combat robotics team, electric car team, and a FIRST Robotics Competition team that students can chose from. We actually have to do an application-based acceptance to the FRC team due to the high number of students that want to be a part of it. We are really fortunate to have a district that supports what we do. We also do a lot of branding and outreach events at local middle and elementary schools to spark interest in our team and program. We'll go to anything, from parades to basketball games!
