At Puli Space we have developed a mentor program. Once you decide to join and its established what field you plan to get involved in (anything from geology through rocketry to journalism), you get a mentor (a more experienced team member) who will show you the ropes.<br>
<br>As for advertising, we also mostly use online means (facebook and twitter really work well) but we also have our own website, a separate team blog and a few friendly science blogs who accept guest posts if we have something to show. We also give free lessons in schools and science fairs, and write regularly to magazines on topics like the Moon and space exploration.<br>
<br>I'm just preparing a talk on public outreach strategies for the space industry, so I have a lot of stuff on this. Hackerspaces will also be mentioned.<br><br><br>
