The college will be giving the team a workshop at this location, access to the equipment, and some additional funding. South Jersey Robotics will also be assisting with the initial costs, and we'll apply our existing business model and fundraisers to the new team. I believe there was discussion of applying for the Rookie and/or NASA grants, as well as some local grant money. |
Sounds like a solid plan teaming up with the local college! Let me know if you need any help or advice with any rookie-oriented fundraisers or want to try to hit up some of the local establishments for donations. Best of luck!
Each team should ask not what their alliance can do for them, but what they can do for their alliance. - [more]
