Haha. This is quite funny. Im thinking that those kids that told you that were playing a cruel joke on you or something. We only have 750 kids in our whole school. To get 30 of them on the team is a big deal! To get this straight:
The largest team we have ever had was somewhere around 35 kids. We are currently in a high point, running with about 30 kids, but I would say the average is somewhere around 25. We have anywhere from 5-8 mentors depending on the year and circumstances.
For those of you who are interested:
We have about 7 kids on Animation, 8 on Public Relations/Marketing, 5 on Inventor, 1 or 2 on Programming, and I say about 12 on Manufacturing. A lot of kids participate in multiple departments, as im sure many students on your teams do also.
We currently have 4 Manufacturing mentors, 2 Programming Mentors, and one PR/Marketing mentor. Both our Animation and Inventor departments are completely student driven. Only a part of our Animation department is not student driven. Our PR/Marketing mentor is also an art teacher at our school, so she helps out with the aesthetics of the animation and some of the brainstorming.
I hope someone finds this interesting or useful in some way!
