Re: Community-Based Teams: How do you get your name out there?

Getting your name out there? What's that?

I found my team in the newspaper that went out on Kickoff of 2015. Since then I've dragged along a few kids from my own school (all previous ones graduated off). Most of our team comes from a different school, where they attract people by word of mouth.

Other than holding Kickoff at one of the local libraries, and then the Mini Maker Faire we went to, our public outreach leaves much to be desired past throwing the team name on morning announcements. We are not part of a university and have a rented space in an old building in town, so nothing there either.
