Re: Way to get kids to join a team

We get students from the teacher mentors we have on the team. Mr. B has an 3 engineering classes, that pull the majority of out team. In Mr. B's first class is called ATEX, where 10th graders try several courses at our tech center. The next step is a two year program, this is where the 10th graders choose there favorite class from there ATEX courses and have a further look into that class for two years. Many of them just happen to choose Mr. B's class Engineering Technology,but there is limited room. Many who do choose Mr. B's class or likes Mr. B's class but didn't get excepted usually join our robotics team. Those who do make usually join as well. Our second source and Intro to Engineering class taught by Mr. Evans. This is where we get our freshmen. and many of the freshmen take ATEX in there 10th grade year. And finally we get students from the R/C Car club, which is lead by Mr. Evans.
All of these things allow us to get new people and keep people interested, this also allows us to get students from 3 high schools with the tech center.
It has been succesful for three years and we hope to continue for many more years to come.
