Re: How to keep new students entertained?
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this:

Look around and reach out to local engineering companies or machine shops. We have the good fortune of living in the same city as a great company known as Isthmus Engineering & Manufacturing Co-op. They specialize automated machinery and construction, which is what we do in FRC, they just work on a lager scale.

We recently took a tour of their workshop with some of our newer students, and it was a great learning experience, as they had some great machinery to show off.
