Exploding Bacon goes to Sams or Costco and stocks up on muffins, granola bars, yogurt, cereal and milk and of course Pop Tarts. We keep them in my room and everyone stops by and grabs something before we leave the hotel. We have a team of 37 going so my room gets pretty crowded but I'm with you on making sure they all eat a decent breakfast. We do the same thing for lunch. A picnic on the green. The bus brings our coolers. We find that we can feed everyone for about $5 bucks. I like it because I can head count and see that each kid is doing ok and is eating something somewhat healthy. Have fun at Champs. If you need any help come by Bacon and find me. Also I would suggest sending at least one parent or mentor to the NEMO meeting on Friday morning. You will get all kinds of Non Engineering tips like this there and meet some pretty cool people.
