Well, from a marketing view, I would say to do presentations to some of the engineering/technological companies in your town. Every year we make a power point presentation and show the CEO's/ representatives who we are, what we do, and how they can help us achieve our goals. We have a 50,000 budget, and the students got all of it this year. We each had to bring in a 200 dollar tax credit (in Az, they have a system where you can bring in up to 250 dollars and have it written off of your taxes), approach three businesses with letters, and assist with at least one presentation to travel. It was a really good system. We even brought our robot to them and let the business reps drive it around. They got a kick out of it and it really hooked them in.
Of course, we were a team that thrived completely on presentations of this type.. Although we were thinking of buying a Segway with our budget and selling rides on it...
One more thing: Selling candy bars for a dollar makes you a mint if you can get it all donated. It's pure profit.
