: Are you the team that has like an 11 million dollar budget?
Brent:
Don't I wish we had an $11 million budget. If that was the case, there would be many more teams in Delaware than there are now!
Based on last season's Team Forum, our budget is basically in the middle of the pack. DuPont is our major sponsor. We also have many other sponsors that donate $$$, supplies, services, and food. Our team members also kick-in some bucks for food, travel to Nationals, and team jerseys.
We are fortunate in that many of our team members (both adults and students) have really good networks to people and businesses that can help our team in some way. We are also fortunate that DuPont Engineering allows us to have some workspace on their site. This really helps, especially when you have students from 11 local schools on the team.
If the impression is that The Miracle Workerz have a huge budget, it is probably due to the fact that we have performed another miracle - we make a modest budget appear large with the addition of gracious sponsors and creativity!
Regards.
John
