Info for starting a new team (again, I'm sure)

Other from Orange High School.

Greetings,

One of the teachers at the local high school (Orange High in Hillsborough, NC) phoned me a few days ago. It seems my son has volunteered me to help with a FIRST team that is getting organized at the school.The teacher has sent an application to NASA for rookie team support and is now looking for information on finding sponsors and adult team members.

What kind of adult team members should a rookie team try to recruit? Parents of the students (who, me?) are an obvious pool, but that pool doesn't necessarily contain the expertise needed to make the project work.

Engineers. What flavor of engineers are needed? A number of the teams appear to have sponsors that employ lots of engineers and this provides a ready pool of expertise. Is this the best way to go? How do you identify a sponsor that can provide this? Fortunately, Duke University, UNC, and Research Triangle Park are nearby and present lots of possibilities for the team to approach.

Of course, I may be an optimist and we'll end up desperately trying to find enough people and money to get something finished by the regionals. Life's like that some years.

Please post or email your advice to help out a rookie team. I'll send it on to the school and stash it away to pass along to anyone else looking for such information.

Thanks,

Greg
