Motivating Students
I've occasionally come across some mentors and students who ask how they can motivate individuals on their team. This is something that many teachers work to perfect over many years and the same goes for FIRST and other competitions. Now motivating students might not be a problem in our bubble, but it is tough for many teams to reach ALL their individuals.
Mentors, team leaders, student leaders...Check out this article. After reading through it, I felt it would be a great resource for everyone...especially those who really want to make that solid connection.

I could also pose a question, how do you reach as many kids as possible on your team?
