If you cant start a team then display what you have. Create a very simple project or task and bring it to different demonstrations at elementary schools or senior citizen homes etc. Doing hands on stuff especially with the younger students will connect with them better than just showing off a robot. The more interaction between your team and any group you go out to the stronger the connection.
