Expected Costs

The budget per student team varies greatly from team to team. An estimated budget for the 2023/24 season is shown below (this is an example only based on previous competitors’ budgets and not set amounts; teams should create their own budget based on their needs). Student teams typically fundraise their entire budget via sponsorships, in-kind donations, and/or fundraisers.
