I have no idea about the after school hours I spend. The steering committee we formed to get things going met one night a week since last July for example. During the pre-build time we met with students pretty regularly after school. And forget the time we spent after school and week ends during build time.
During the school day I probably spend an average of 5 hours a week from January to Nationals. A lot of that is working logistical issues. We have someone at our school who has been doing major parts of that and set up all our transportation. She also handles fundraising. Huge number of hours during the regular work day for all of that. All in all we have three teachers and two staff members who have been helping with FIRST on school time. This represents a major commitment on the part of the school. Plus the money we spent from the school budget. The Principal and President of the school have both been VERY supportive.
Several of the engineers spent a lot of work time on FIRST as well. Some of them even took vacation time so that they could work full time during the initial design period. They work for a non-profit who could not give them time off with pay for the regional or Florida so they are using vacation time. They have been great!
