Re: Team leader
Well our team is considered a club by our schools so we don't have a team captain instead we have positions that a club would have (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.) the people who fill these positions are know as the teams officers. To fill these positions we have nominations and elections at the end of each school year.
As for small group leaders firstly we have three main small groups mechanical (drive train, and device), Controls (hardware, software), and Program Management/ Strategy the leaders of these 3 groups are picked by each group but we pretty much know they will be in charge so getting picked is just a formality.
the president runs our weekly meetings
Each officer can work in whatever area of team they want just like all of out team members.
Each team member is important to the team in a different way it all depends on how much time and effort they put into the team.
as to if its important to have a leader that really depends on your team size
if your team is small around 15 students it would be helpful but not necessary (our first year we didn't have a student leader)because everyone more or less know what the others are doing and what needs to be done. but if you have a large team like we had last year(73) and this year (65 +) it is important to have a student leader just because of the size of the team you need someone to organize what is going on within the team
