Two ideas... two requests:
 
  1. I'm interested in holding summer camp type events for local kids and leveraging our existing/established teams to do community outreach and have hands-on mentor type interactions with kids that may be interested in joining a robotics team this Fall. 
  2. I'd also like to have more structured programs to teach more advanced FLL concepts to our teams that can be done in a few short sessions.
 
Requests:
  1. Does anyone have any program or curriculum they've developed (or can refer me to) for summer camps or short structured activities that I could use as a basis for our new off-season activities?   
  2. Does anyone have any ideas for a short/mobile demonstration (1 hour or less) that can be used to effectively get kids interested in learning more about robotics (without setting up the whole board and running through the FLL challenge)?    That can be easily done in a Classroom for 25-30 kids.  I have access to multiple Mindstorms kits.
Thanks,
