Re: New Team

I would recommend going to the nearest high-school and spread the news there. Find some more students and some teachers that would be interested in starting a team as well. It will make starting a team easier for you, and it will be an easy to build up a team.

Team Communication:
-Email is probably the most efficient way of communication. A Facebook group wouldn't help either, but that would depend on how many students you recruit have Facebooks and/or how many check them often.

Recruiting:
-As I stated before, a high-school would be the best place to raise awareness.
-A robot would be very helpful. It gives students a taste of what they will be doing if they join a FIRST team. I positive that it will get students, maybe even teachers, excited.
-Team shirt. It will show that you have experience with a team before, and you know how the entire program operates. It may make the adults feel more comfortable because you have experience with a team, you know how a FIRST team is supposed to function, etc.
-I would say about 30-45 students. You want a lot of students so work can be done faster and more students will be interested in FIRST, but you don't want that many because it will be difficult to maintain all of the students and expensive to bring all of the kids to a competition.

PM me if you have any other questions or concerns. I will be glad to answer them, or attempt to.
