RoboMom nailed it regarding the "bring the robot" angle.

Another good tip is to have something they can get involved in easily and right away.

Something like "We are having an open house at our school and you are all invited to come by and see our workshop where we build the robots".

Also have a calendar of events they can hook up with your team. They can pin it on their wall and have a constant reminder of your team. Should have a picture of your robot and contact information.

Figure out ways to stay in contact with them, maybe have a newsletter they can receive via email, keep it short and interesting.

I think it is tough to make a good connection with one shot. There has to be some sort of take away reminder and a couple of follow ups to make a connection.


Good luck.
