Re: Recruitment Strategies

1) Demonstrating the robot at various functions around school

2) Demonstrating the robot/talking about the team at 8th grade orientation night (for people about to start high school)

3) FLL teams at the middle school

4) Fundraisers around town with robot demos, and letting people try it out- everyone wants to come drive the robot!

5) Display case at the front of the school with video footage, robot parts, etc.

6) Postering around the school

7) Announcements at school

8) Wearing shirts (and medals if you have them) to school- tell people why everyone is wearing those awesome shirts

9) Team members talking to their friends/peers/classmates

Basically, be active- don't be shy about sharing your infectious team spirit and passion for FIRST. Do the "I" step- inspire others.
