Large group presentations
Okay, here’s the scenario:
We have a good group willing to mentor a team that consists of engineers, good management people, and a gal with one heck of a gift for fundraising and spirit. We have already started successfully brainstorming for fundraising and obtaining sponsors that have promise, and it looks as if the high school will be open to the idea. We feel that the presentations we are preparing for the smaller groups of leadership (school district officers, etc.) will be solid and convincing.
We know that there are students who would be interested in being on a team, but what would be the best way of reaching the mass student body in order to flush out all of those unsuspecting valuable team members?
Are there videos available from teams from years previous (before Chairman’s Award entries had to be confined to four sheets of paper) that show what FIRST meant to them, how it tied into the community and what it’s really all about that could get the point across in a short period of time in an assembly?
A demo from an experienced team would be great, but we are in the middle nowhere here in Price Utah and the nearest teams are hundreds of miles away.
Are there any suggestions?
P.S. We will also have a couple of members of the CEU evaluation team specifically assigned to gather information on this at the AZ regional from anyone who is willing to share. Their names are Evan Peyton, and Lisa Hanson. Look for them. They will be wearing name-badges from CEU (College of Eastern Utah).
