We're also working on creating a parent-run booster club so that we can start getting sponsors.
Among our goals for this year are to begin writing press releases for each event and competition we attend, expand our website, begin creating media and videos, start a newsletter, more fundraising, and start doing some community service. Most of this would be done along with the rest of the Tech & Eng club, not just 1712 (otherwise that entire list would be very hard to manage...). We're planning to start an F1 team (
http://www.f1inschools.us/), in which six student would design and build a scale model F1 CO2 car.
In general, now that we have a team running, we want to make ourselves more well known and become involved with the community for our second year.
A week before school starts, our school has a "freshman orientation" where we'll have a robot demonstration and booth for recruitment.
Could you say more about your "Charge Ahead" event? What did you do?
