We're exploring the possibility of a long-term collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering school of a local university. Please tell us about your experience with such partnerships.

What's in it for the high school? Obvious possibilities are mentoring, machining, and money. Do you get any or all of those? Any other benefits for the team?

What's in it for the college? Recruiting opportunities, learning opportunities. Anything else? Success stories?

If there is a list somewhere of high school/college teams, it would help us a lot to see it. I saw the related thread, and that's a start.

Thanks in advance for your help.
