Re: Team rules
This is to explain what Ben was talking about a little more:
We do disband the team on the ride back from Atlanta. It has become a sort of ritual that has been done for the last three or four years. All students must reapply with a resume and interview with teachers and engineers. To make interviews go faster we schedule two groups of interview teams and the students spend 15 minutes with one then switch and spend 5 with the other. Students are rated on performance by all the engineers and teachers and we go over that rating with the student from that year and let the student tell us why they should be on the team. All the students know that they have to build their resume through the year so they push to do things like car washes, demos, Lego mentoring, Vex Mentoring, learn how to operate different machines or software, and so on. This has worked for us but I know there are teams that don’t like this type of structure and that is fine.
