Re: What does your team do during the summer?

We teach. We give tons of workshops about all aspects of FIRST and robotics to try and get more people involved. We've given presentations all over the place to a total of several thousand people. We use VEX to let participants actually apply the concepts they learn and we hold a competition at the end of the workshop. VEX is great for this. Yeah, I suggest you do demonstrations and teach, not only is it a great way to get more sponsors and teams involved, but it is a great learning experience for the students giving the workshops.

Our biggest summer project is generally our summer workshops in Hawaii and New Zealand. We've been invited back to Hawaii for the third year by Governor Lingle.
