Keep in mind that Computer Challenge is not only for the best and brightest.
Often students with academic or behavior problems in school will shine
in Computer Challenge due to the added attention and hands-on activities.
We are especially interested in serving students with reduced opportunities.
Promotion is a crucial step! Here are some proven methods for recruiting
students.
-
Personal invitations from the coach. This is the
most effective method. Give each prospect a participation
form.
-
Invitations from teachers. Explain
the program to teachers, get them excited, invite them to visit
www.techclubs.org. Ask teachers to
announce the program and hand
out participation forms.
-
Posters. Put up posters around your school or meeting
place or wherever students will see them. Include the meeting place
and time, semester theme, where to get a participation form, and
who to contact for more information. Some sample posters are included
below. Edit them to add the correct information for your club or
design your own. Be sure to recognize your club sponsors and include
the Computer Challenge name, logo and Web site. Copying posters onto
colored paper adds interest.
