Re: Ontario Moving to District Model in 2017
Part of FRC is the entrepreneurial side, hence FIRST giving out an Entrepreneurship Award. Even if you don't want to seek out corporate grants, there are plenty of other ways to raise money, such as bake sales, charging small amounts to drive previous robots, raffles, etc. I'm sure other people can list dozens if not hundreds of more ideas. Not only will fundraising increase your build capabilities, it will teach your students skills equal to more valuable than are taught by building the robot itself, such as public speaking, organization and planning, and money management. Community fundraisers also tend to assist with publicity and recruiting along with funds.
