After finishing up all of my exams and such, I was given permission to do a robot demo, with a spiel about FIRST Robotics to the faculty during one of their morning meetings. Many of the faculty members announced that it was the most enjoyable faculty meetings of the entire year.

After that I was allowed to terrorize students in the commons area the entire school day. I also encouraged some teachers within the science department to come out during part of their period to demo the robot for the students and answer questions. A surprising amount of students showed interest.

It may be a little late, but demo this year's robot towards the end of the school year, get students on an email list for the robotics team. Send out information about the team, and certain events (fundraisers) the team may be doing. And do a few more right after school has started (the following year) so students who saw the demo last school year, would remember how cool the robot is, and may make an effort to actually join. Mainly because the last few days before school gets out, students are more interested in a "no work, party all summer" routine.
