What techniques do you use to recruit new High School Students and/or Mentors to your team?

Well, we don't really use techniques. We basically have a couple of intro meetings (just in case people who wanted to join missed the first one) and lay down the rules, benefits and ideals of FIRST. It's amazing the response we get each year. It may not seem like much, but on average each year we get about 25-30 students and every person goes from FIRST a happy camper. We also are starting to advertise a lot more. Instead of just making an announcement over the intercom during morning announcements, we also are going to put posters up, possibly hand out fliers, and maybe (if we're lucky) talk to homerooms about our team. I think all these ideas are effective and will be.
