Another thing to remember: Your team does NOT have to be sponsored by a school. Talk to your donors, see if they would be willing to let you use their shop. If there's a parent or another adult who is avaliable, you'll be free and clear.

We had another team lose their sponsorship and workplace, so we opened our shop and lab to them. It was a great experience for both teams, and the other team ended up being regional champs! For all the local teams, help 'em out! Having another team in the workspace leads to many unforseen benefits.
