We have one that comes out once a year or so...We do a lot of community fundraising and we send one to each of our sponsers.
But the mother who got it together daughter is graduating, and she is focusing more on Lego robotics at her school. So I would love to start one...say once a robotics season (build, off, competition, pre)
I also would like our local newspaper to have a technology column every week. (And well environmental too, the natural world is my passion, be where else can I get hands on experience with hand tools?...I certainly don't have a jig saw
)
Newsletters are important for building up your extended community. There are many people who want to know what kids are doing these days but don't know how to ask or where to find out. A newsletter scattered around the school is a great start.
Do any teams have technology nights/forums to discuss and showcase their work that is open to the public and well advirtised? I think it's a great idea but advertising can be difficult.
Best of luck writing and spreading the word to all teams,
BTW How is everyone doing with Dean's challenge?
