Re: How to keep new students entertained?
VEX and FRC Workshops.

VEX is a great program and allows students to build robots with little to no experience coming in. Our vex team has no mentors and is completely student-run, allowing the students to learn through discovery and experimentation.

FRC workshops are a great way to get people trained for the busy build season. Try to make the workshops as interactive as possible in order to keep students interested.

Note: these are only the robot-related tasks that can happen in the pre-season. Other tasks such as outreach, graphic design, animation, publication-writing, finance planning, teambuilding, etc. are extremely important as well and the pre-season is a great time to get started on them.
