Concessions Popcorn Popper for Robotics Fundraising

Help me give my students a quality concessions popcorn popper for a better option to earn money for their robotics teams.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Winkler's classroom raised $367

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our 58 robotics students in grades 3rd - 12th need to raise a lot of funding to keep our program running. This includes materials to build our robots, electronics, registrations, food, some lodging, and supplies for judging. We write grants, visit local businesses for sponsorships, and sell raffle tickets to get some of this money. One of our biggest fundraisers is running a FIRST LEGO Qualifier, including a concessions stand. We are not allowed to use the popcorn popper that is in the room we sell our concessions and end up hauling a huge, old, popcorn popper back and forth. We'd like this model as it is more portable and we could store it in closer proximity. Our students are then better able to be a part of funding our program to buy the robot parts at all of our levels. They get to see how their hard work and effort make great things happen.
