Re: Build/Meeting Spaces
We are a community based team so we do not have school buildings or shop equipment to use. We are currently in the basement of a small strip mall that is very wet during a heavy rain. We only have basic tools: a drill press and band saw were purchased last year (our 5th year). We move frequently as our space is given to us by a donor so we really cannot purchase anything big which would be hard to move. Our current space has an 8 ft ceiling and no heat, so it's been an interesting build season. We've been traveling to Team 931's field on Saturdays to run hybrid mode and to do driver training.

Off-season we meet about once a week year round (we do community outreach about every other weekend during the year) and during build season we were meeting M-F, 6:30 - 9pm and 9-5 on Saturdays. The current location we are at is a 25 minute drive for most of the students and mentors, 2 of our students travel 45 min each way for meetings.

We have a very dedicated and resourceful group and I'm glad to be part of the team.

Good luck to everyone in the coming weeks!

DeAnna
