School Affiliation
Joe is correct, no school affiliation is required to start and maintain a FIRST team. Team #365 is comprised of STUDENTS from a number of schools, but is run as a DuPont FIRST Robotics group. We have no teachers involved with our team. It is basically an afterschool interest group that is run by DuPont professionals and others.

If the team in question wants to use school property or resources for the team, then they need to get permission. A school-sanctioned group has certain permissions. It comes down to the school guidelines and policies on how a non-school sanctioned group can operate on school grounds.

We would be happy to discuss how our team handles these issues. Feel free to e-mail one of the Miracle Workerz on Team #365 for more info.

Good luck!
