Team 987 presents: I <3 Robots Episode 1: Fundraising

[SM987]

Appreciate the feedback and kind words. Yes these are filmed in the shop so you will hear the occasional clank or whirr of a machine!

For the questions on grants, we plan on tackling these and other questions in episode six. Much of what we have applied for and received we sought out through local branches of corporations, and even employers of students' parents. Many school districts have a grants department that maintains a list of grants that schools or even individuals in the district are eligible for. Since the economic recession, grants have been harder to come by, but are starting to come back and STEM is a huge area of concentration for many agencies and corporations. We hope this means more funding for grant seekers on FIRST teams soon!

Your questions and suggestions are great. Continue to hit us up via PM, Twitter, Facebook, or our website. If you feel that you or your team has expertise in one of our upcoming topics, we would love to have a celebrity guest share their team's wealth of knowledge! We are lucky to already have some very special guests scheduled so stay tuned!
