'This competition means so much for all of us.'
But when it comes to extracurriculars like high school robots, fundraising can be a whole other challenge. CBS 2's Tim McNicholas takes us inside the race to collect cash for one North Side team."We're team 8122 Taft Robotic Eagles," said sophomore Olivia Kapusniak.
And with those two regional wins, the team qualified for another major competition with teams from across the country and beyond."It'd mean the world to me," said junior Angel Perez. The team launched a fundraiser online but robotics teacher Tony Schmidt says they're far below their goal. As Schmidt and his students have learned--fundraising for a program like robotics is no easy task. It can be difficult to even explain the program to potential donors and self-funding is not an option.
