An Accounting of What We Bought With the Grant Money

I wanted to post how we spent the Grant Money.  



We bought 5  LEGO MINDSTORMS Education NXT Base Sets...


which totaled about $1399.75


Then we bought 4 LEGO MINDSTORMS Education Resource Sets...

which totaled around $391.95.


Then we bought 1 software license for 79.95.  I actually have 3 from kits at home and 2 education kits software in all...


So we spent  $1871.65 in all for the kits.


We bought two rolling Stanley totes to carry everything in...

this cost about $80 approximately.

Then of course shipping for all the kits was about $130.  I could have bought one more resource kit if I didn't have to pay for shipping.

This totals: $2081.65

I had $2100 to spend.

I have also loaned about $350 worth of legos and 3 of my own retail Mindstorm kits (one-8257, two-8547).  Other purchases I have loaned are containers for the legos, three wheeled folding dollies, and a portable table.

The hardest part is transporting back and forth all the supplies.
