This can help you with recruitment of team members + and mentors, spreading awareness of yourselves and *FIRST*, and is one great + step towards helping you with fundraising (which we’ll cover in more detail + in a future article). + + If you’ve never started a social media campaign for a *FIRST* Tech Challenge + team, you might have some ideas about how to get started but you need some + direction and some more “concrete” examples pertaining to where to start, + what to create content about, and even where to post/host your content. + Gemini can be a great start in your brainstorming process. This simple + prompt can yield loads of valuable feedback: + + * *I have a high school FIRST Tech Challenge Team. What are things I need to + consider when starting my first social media campaign?* + + Once you’ve got a presence and start working through content, through social + media you’ll engage with lots of folks. It can sometimes be difficult to + find the right way to interact with the community at large, and responders + who love (or are critical of) your content. AI to the rescue! AI can help + you find different ways of interacting - though remember the ultimate + responsibility on what to post is up to you, AI should only be used as a + means of brainstorming and/or refining what you want to say. + + * *Write a friendly, one-sentence response to the following social media + comment that shows appreciation for the comment and encourages the user to + turn on post notifications for more content from our FIRST Tech Challenge + team.* + + Can’t think of prompts to ask/use, or are you looking for some inspiration? + AI can help you there as well. You can ask AI to help you with building AI + prompts (asking the AI what to ask the AI is a pro tip!), brainstorming ways + to use AI for social media, and ways to accentuate what you do on social + media. Be sure to keep “ *FIRST* Tech Challenge ” in your prompts so that the AI + relates what you’re asking it to the competition so that the suggestions it + makes are relevant to your team and your activities. + + * *Can you tell me some common AI prompts for generating social media posts + for my FIRST Tech Challenge team?* + + Finally, it’s important to track your social media progress in order to + determine what’s going well, optimize your strategy for content in the + future, and determining where you’re getting the most “bang” for your + content-production “buck.” We can use the following prompt to ask AI to give + us some tips on the best ways to track our online footprint: + + * *How can I track my team's progress on social media?* + + Remember, social media is a marathon, not a race. It requires careful + planning, continuous improvement, consistency in creating content, and the + desire to build your team’s brand.
