Go to Post Gracious professionalism is competing with a team one minute, and helping them fix their robot the next. It is cheering for FIRST, rather than just your team, and most importantly: it is looking at the future and saying, "Together, we can do that" - WakeZero [more]

Re: Community-Based Teams: How do you get your name out there?

We partnered with our local public library. We meet in their community room which is often in full view of library patrons, and we often get curious peeks through the glass door, especially when we're driving robots around! We are thrilled with our partnership with the library, they have even given us a display nook where the robot sits on display to the public all summer. We gave the library a stack of brochures to give out in case there are inquiries, and there have been quite a few. (Interestingly, we get a lot of requests for summer programs for the 7-12 year old age range, so now we know what to focus on in coming years). We are running a few Raspberry Pi based workshops through the library.

We do community bottle drives as our go-to fundraiser, which is an easy way to also get your name out in the community. Articles in the local community paper, social media, and solid branding are also key.
