Wildstang students are enrolled in a class so that covers some things in the school. They must fundraise as well for other things like travel. There are several opportunities like selling hot chocolate and KK donuts at football games. We have done cheescakes sales, Entertainment books, candy, etc. Profits are set and go into student accounts like those mentioned for Boy Scouts. We also run the concessions at the State Lego League and work the event. Students who work in any area during the two days, shares in the profits of the concessions.
Since we are very close to the Midwest Regional and are more or less the host team, school buses bring the students to the event. Only drive team and select pit crew go on Thursday and the whole team is able to attend on Friday and Saturday. We attend one other regional, and for that we take a skeleton crew and drive team. We also attend the Champs and students picked for that travel must have fundraised a specific amouont which changes with hotel each year. The students are also selected by participation throughout the year and their duties during the event. I am proud to point out that that our students this year played a pivotal role in gathering data and producing an effective strategy while picking two spectacular teams that complemented our robot function very well.
