We also build at a DuPont site. Besides the pros/cons already mentioned, hours are both a pro/con. Pro because you don't have to deal with school schedules and closings (businesses close much less often for weather than schools!). Con is we can't start work until 5:30 at night, and that early only because we provide dinner (paid for monthly by students and delievered by parents). Space is a con - our main workshop is in one building on site, dinner is eaten in another, and playing field and storage in another on a different site. Pro is that we can work on weekends - our usual schedule during build season is Mon, Wed, Thurs 5:30-8:30, and Sundays 1:00-5:00.

About half of our mentors work for DuPont and there is an advantage being on or near our work site.
