We get funding from our school, they give us a place to work and encourage teachers to get involved. In the past we have received monetary support from our school board. Our principal gave us permission to have 2 courses in teh cirriculum for robotics, giving students involved credits for their involvement. However, even though our school supports us, we are only allowed to bring 4 teachers to Pittsburgh. Even if we pay for the supply teachers, we are only allowed 4 teachers. It doesn't make sense because normally our principal supports us. This Friday would be the only day the teachers miss and seeing as it is the Friday before our March Break (which is a huge joke, no one goes to class at all), our principal still will only allow 4 teachers to go. Other than that, we have our own classroom (small, but at least it gives us a place to store our tools and what not).
