1) The money used to come from nasa but no more. We know this guy who owns a machine shop who helps us out with the tricky parts we can't make ourselves.
2)We've never had ask for sponsorships before now. Now 2 students including myself are writing letters and making phone calls.
3)A car wash got us about $200 and a restaurant fundraising night got us $110.

I have the perfect idea for a fundraiser but the school would never let us do it. Get an old or cheap small bench grinder and mount it on a table. Have this table out where everybody spends their lunch/snack time. Get a large steel pipe (or several smaller ones). Charge $2 per turn for kids to make an array of sparks for 15 seconds or so. They would love it and it would sure attract attention.

Man, they don't even let us do raffles.
