Join the club David.
Some of our students in our program average over 300+ hours outside of school during build season. This isnt an exaggeration, and we had some crazy ones put in 400 in the past.
The problem with that is an adult is here also.
Adding the whole money issue for us and having families (I'm a daddy and husband), makes it even more so.
There are pressures to not tone it down, let some things go, and outright doing less.
Donors give more when you do more, which indirectly affects your success as we all focus on robot building and student learning experiences.
