here at my high school, we've got plenty of kids interested in science, math, technology, etc.
to get kids interested in whatever you're selling, i wouldn't say to start an entirely new competition or event, but to see what already exists and slap your name on it by sponsoring it.
if that's not possible, then google 'robotics competitions' or something of the like, and mimic their formats and start one of your own. sure, the kids who do this get made fun of, but if they all have one purpose through a competition, you'll get their interest.
Okay, here are the facts, but all in all it doesn't add up:
Microsoft creates Windows XP and built-in search functionality.
Search in WinXP is horribly slow, clunky and generally inept.
So, Google releases an add-on Desktop search utility that does a better job.
Then, Microsoft releases an ADD-ON FOR THE PROGRAM THEY CREATED INSTEAD OF FIXING THE THING THEY MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
That last part is the thing I don't understand.
