Show them. Invite another team over to show their robots and have the mentors of that team share the experiences show them the work students do. If there are any off-season events near you, invite them to attend with you. If they aren't hooked after that then I don't know what to tell you. For actual jobs I've done everything from chef to a rapid prototyper to gofer to businessman. I help where it's needed but my main job is to encourage the students.
