Re: FAHA: How to Make Things Enjoyable Again

Whenever things get a bit crazy and our priorities get skewed, there is one thing that is guaranteed to bring us back.

Do several elementary school demos. The excitement, amazement, and pure joy that children have for seeing and learning abut the robots is overwhelming.
Your students will make connections and feel like heroes. Your coaches will remember why they started to volunteer in the first place.

Get as many people (adults and students) as you can to participate in multiple sessions with younger kids. It will inspire you and bring you back. It works for me every time!
