Writing to your Legislature for funding
Our team just tried this for the 1st time, not expecting to get anything, thinking it was a longshot.
Well, to our surprise, we got quite a huge amount to renovate our robotics facilities (furniture, equipment upgrade, electrical upgrade, and technology).
Most importantly, its monies that is pretty flexible and open where other strict funding sources and grants cannot cover other than for student learning.
We plan to also upgrade the media center (video production) and graphics program, which indirectly supports our program by training our students in the STEM career pathway.
It was under the Hawaii State Government HB200 initiative.
