Re: Minimum age for FRC?
We have students on 2706 who started when they were as young as 12.
To be honest when I first found out about grade 8 students wanting to join, I was skeptical. My opinion was something like "OK, they can tag along." I was proven wrong. Yes, there was one student who wasn't able to contribute much (I think he was just too busy with other commitments) but the majority of our young students are eager, enthusiastic, ready to learn, and always ready to volunteer.
It does take a certain, shall we say, "sense of humour" to work with junior high students, but the rewards for giving them the chance are worth it.
