My team would appreciate any help!
Most of our work with outreach is local schools and businesses. Our team has students from our county, so what we do is this.
  1. Talk to our students, figure out their middle + HS schools were, and if they had faculty who liked them there. This especially comes in handy with freshmen.
  2. Make a list of schools in order of proximity / ease of demonstration.
  3. Coordinate with them to get in contact with their Middle / Elementary school to do a robot demo.
  4. If the demo goes well, ask the teacher if they'd like to start an FLL / FTC team, and we're off from there.

The most difficult part of any outreach is getting a foot in the door, same as getting sponsors. Use what you have to get in the door.
