This is great, ideas keep rolling in. Probably more than I'll have time to incorporate. Thanks to all.

Aldo, if I can get Juan to come help, I'll definitely do it. He's got the gift of gab and his enthusiasm is infectious. Actually, the Tigrebytes are in pretty good shape for engineering mentors. Due to a large grant from the Kauffman Foundation a few years ago, the Kansas City area has a high density of teams. I know there are many that don't have the kind of support the Tigerbytes have. I'm trying to coax some coworkers to to fill in some of these gaps.

So, I'll have robots, kids, perhaps the aforementioned Juan, cards to hand out with follow-up contact information, invites to visit the Cowtown Throwdown event in November, and I'll try to get together some video and slide show to put on the screen while the students talk about the program. Let's see, what did I miss? Oh yea, I need to get the list of local teams and contacts put together along with a map of team locations. Great stuff!
