Is there some simple robotic task (~15-20 minutes) like a simple model to build (with easy step-by-step instructions) or something on the computer that could captivate their attention and keep them in the room? They're more likely to forget their discomfort of being outnumbered if they feel successful in doing a task.

Our one girl was snagged when she came to my house & was captivated by my son's LEGO RIS kit. She started the tutorial, 2 hours later, convinced her mom to start an FLL team, and has now graduated to our HS Vex team.
