We believe it can be replicated as well. No, there's no "package" of documentation, perhaps I could put together a whitepaper. Essentially though, here's the quick and dirty:
1. Venue at Drexel is free, our RD scheduled that with the College of Engineering
2. Food for the day was, drinks and snack for morning, drinks and pizza for lunch - I believe it was about 75 total people and we budgeted about $250 for food. Donations can easily reduce this number
3. I had the field and game elements at the school, no cost.
4. School district of Philadelphia took care of transportation for teams
5. Scholarship prizes covered registration and event fees. This amounted to just under $1,000.
6. Vex order totals about $3K looking at invoices for both years.
7. The day is packed into about a five hour schedule ... game/build/test 2.5 hrs (snack on own), 30 min lunch and welcome from Drexel, play 1.5 hrs, 30 min thanks, congrats, awards, mingle

So, for a little under $5K and a little time, six (or so) schools can walk away with an experience they wouldn't otherwise have, and they all take home Vex goodies and have new friends/mentors to boot.
