Re: Way to get kids to join a team
Another aspect of this "promotion" dealie is helping teachers recognize FIRST. Our chief mentor made a point of inviting our highschool principal to the competition where she hadn't been terribly supportive of students skipping school for it before. After the competition, she was a lot friendlier about the issue. I think the most important thing about attracting new people is to show them every aspect of the club, not just what you might be doing at the moment. Invite them to a meeting, or an event or something and really mean it. I have gotten a lot of people committing to join next year just by encouraging to meet team members and be involved.
