Re: Fundraising/Community Outreach

Trying to keep from going on a rant here, but this year, we developed an assembly line for and built sit-skis, which are cross-country skis that are adapted for athletes with disabilities. They were designed by college students at the UW, and we made 150 of them, which quadrupled the number of them in the world. Other people made more of them using our assembly line procedures later.

Most of our money comes from a robotics summer camp, which had about 90 middle-school age kids last year, and brought in over $30,000. The school gives us the room where we do it.
