Hi! I was finally able to get my rocketry club approved by my high school (3 years of trying, totally worth it). Now I need to recruit a few members. My school has an activity fair every year which gives people a chance to look at the club or activity options here, but I'd like to have like 2 other members before the fair (which is in like 2-3 weeks). I am shy and not good at asking people stuff like this because I have constant lingering anxiety that they'll judge me for this (which some probably will, I can guarantee). I know none of my close friends are really into rocketry, and I have asked 3 other people over email (one replied saying he has a packed schedule but will see if he can, the other two didn't reply yet, but are friends of mine).
The students in my grade (Junior) aren't too "into" space or rockets, as far as I know, and I am not sure how many people would be willing to join. I have a few tight friends (those I will hang out with after school), and a few more less-tight ones (like people I talk to and stuff but probably won't ever hang out with after school or whatever), but that's it, and most of those people aren't nerds like I am, though those 3 that I asked are.
What do I do? I'm thinking about putting a flyer or two up in my school with my school email saying that if they're interested they should email me (not the exact words but that is basically what it will say), but I feel like I'll be judged. I know I should just grow a set and get out and ask, because hey, what do I have left to lose amirite.
Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
