Re: Breaking the Geek-FIRST Bias
you say your gunna have a vacuum of people as all your people are first years . . .
[RANT]
We only have people in our team for 2 years, as we are based at a 6th form college. This means we only ever have people in year 12 and 13 (ie 15/16-18 yr olds)this makes it very hard for us to get enough people with skills and we basically have something like 1 month to train the lowers up for next year, and they have to do the same the year after etc.. .. ..

if your colllege has like a societies listing/fair or something, then you can make sure you get more people by having the most attractive female and one of the really clever people maning hte stand, making a point of the team needing (to use an awful phrase)"non-geeks"

i agree with av11d
