If all else fails, a stun gun or baton helps keep the group quiet and aware


No really, I think the key to keeping everyone awake, aware and involved. As Beth said above, she thinks the mentors from her team pretty much entertain towards the engineering group. That is very important, but you have to keep as many people and all the team groups involved as much as possible.

I say as you go down your list of topics, vary them like:

1. Mechanical robot related issue

2. Chairmans Award

3. Software Problem

4. Spirit team

and so on.

That should keep more people interested and awake, whereas the engineering group pays attention to the first half of the meeting and falls asleep when the chairmans award & spirit team topics are going on and vice-versa. Then again, if the advice doesn't work, the stun gun should do the trick and keep everyone awake and aware
