Re: new team
When you approach the school, take a multi-level approach.
1) Find an enthusiastic teacher. Most likely in the sciences or math. Possibly in Tech Ed. Success here will help a lot.
2) Find out which school board members and administrators are science/technology advocates. Work with them. Use the FIRST marketing information for backup. Find out what they need and see how FRC addresses this. There's a bit of marketing and salesmanship needed here. Some information here could/should be available on web, but most likely you will need to attend a few school board meetings and observe.
3) Is there a parents' organization which could be interested? Parents can apply a great deal of influence if they are so inclined.
4) Are there interest groups in the community you can tap into; groups with special interest in the quality of technology education available?
Hope this helps. Don't be shy if you've got questions.
Again, bon chance!
