I have to give this a lot at my school actually, here's what I generally do...

"In high school and elementary school I was involved in FIRST, a multi-national high intensity robotics competition that partners students with engineers and local scientists from major corporations, For example, mine was sponsored by Motorola Inc., in order to promote STEM education initiatives. The FIRST season usually has 6 weeks of building followed by a month of competitions culminating with the World Championships. Robots usually weigh in around 120lbs and range in heights up to 15 feet tall.

Being in FIRST has not only helped me develop technical skills, but also improved my people skills and taught me how to work successfully in an engaging competitive environment with not only teammates, but competitors as well. These skills have helped create lasting connections and memories. I would recommend FIRST to any student as it was an amazing experience that I am honored to have been a part of and people like you make it happen."

I usually have an old team video/photos on my ipod as well.
