Friday 8th November 2024, we hosted our very first bake sale of the season! With plenty of planning beforehand the whole process went smoothly and was very successful.

We collaborated with our school’s younger FTC team for the baking effort meaning we had plenty of cakes, cookies and all sorts of delicious baked goods. Seeing the spread was simply mouthwatering, there are some fantastic bakers in both teams, that’s for certain!

Setting up was made simple as we were very kindly helped by school staff to put out tables, napkins, gloves and, of course, the food. We served at break and lunchtime, with staff holding onto our earnings in the in-between period. Plenty of the goods had completely sold out after break which was very nice to see, but thanks to all the incredible bakers, we still had new, fresh stuff to put out at lunch.

It was fabulous to see everyone working together to help raise money for our teams. Despite the whole process being tiring, it was also massively rewarding. We’d had some really inspiring conversations with teachers and staff about robotics and what we do, made more money than we’d anticipated, AND had leftovers to treat ourselves for a job well done!

(Additionally, a massive thank you to our Finance sub-team for taking the time to count out and sort our earnings, we’re one step forward on our way to meeting our fundraising goal for this season!)
