Re: Sponsors

Start with the companies your team parents and mentors work for. See if you can make a presentation. Next check with the local chapters of professional societies IE: American society of mechanical engineers, Fluid Power society, Society of Women Engineers etc. From there arrange presentations to Kiwanis, Rotary Toastmasters etc. See if you can make a presentation to the local government....see if they can be a sponsor. Check with your PTA or your SAC committee. There are no limits. One team is sponsored by a car wash, another by a hair salon. Its a lot of legwork and it helps if you have an in (parent who works there) but don't count out cold calling.
