Re: Aquiring Space

We were fortunate this last year in that our school was gracious enough as well as having the [former] alternative school that we ended up [I believe] paying for utilities and whatnot, but we were given the former alternative school to turn into our districts new robotics center. It had somewhere around 10 rooms, a main room, as well as a long hallway. We were very fortunate to get it, and it looks like we will be there for a while.

Previously, we have been in the cafeteria of the old 6th grade building, as well as in the "dungeon" aka the basement just underneath said cafeteria. We have also rented out part of a strip mall... that one... that was interesting.

Just ask around, get someone at the school involved. If they see you doing good in the community and getting kids lessons outside the classroom, often schools will be very happy to help with a location.
