Starting a Robotics Club

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I need help and advice in how to start a Robotics club. I already have 1 (Not an official school club) organization started so I have the leadership skills, but I don't know how to go about Starting a school Robotics club. The FIRST site tells me I'll need professional engineers, adult mentors, high school aged students, sponsorship, a meeting place, access to tools and free time during the build and competition season. My questions are:
- Where would I find and be able to contact willing professional engineers?
- What do they mean by adult mentors and would those from the ASCE and IEEE qualify?
- Sponsorship would be from my school, right?
- Would I have to meet at my school or would I be able to do it in a large room in a local library or a community center or something like that?
- As for access to tools, how will I know what is needed for the club?</p>

<p>Also if you have any advice as to what we could talk about at meetings that would be great.</p>

<p>I would make an account on [Chief</a> Delphi - Portal](<a href=“http://www.chiefdelphi.com%5DChief”>http://www.chiefdelphi.com) and post there. It’s an extremely active FIRST community and very helpful, especially this time of year.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
