Re: FIRST Fundraiser: Selling LED "Lightbulbs"
The bulbs themselves are a great idea. But having your kids try to sell them may not be such a great idea. Most consumers won't make this very large, short term, investment for a long term gain, regardless of the accuracy of the calculations. The vast majority of consumers are not going to think about this like engineers. It is just the nature of the consumer beast.
The bottom line is that you are asking teenagers to sell $25 lightbulbs to their grandmothers. That is who is going to buy most of these bulbs. There are just better things to sell, like Hexbugs.
