| How to Get
      Supplies: After-schools programs may use existing parts, tools and supplies, order
      them on line or contract with Build-It-Yourself to buy and ship
      appropriate supplies.
 All Projects:All projects require 1 computer per 3 students with high speed access to
      the Internet and PowerPoint installed.  An additional computer with a
      Webcam and speaker/mic set is required for the workshop manager. 
      (See Webcast Support)
 Construction
      Projects:The basic tools and supplies below are used in all construction workshops. 
      Most can be purchased on line or at a local craft or at a hardware
      shop.  Many schools may already have these supplies.
 Specific parts
      are required for various projects.  LEGO projects will require an
      investment of less than $1500 to serve classes of 12 students over many
      workshop series.  Non-LEGO projects will require an investment of
      between $100 and $1000 depending on the project. Virtual
      Projects:Virtual projects such as Scratch, Web Design, and Digital Media Design use
      freeware in addition to PowerPoint.
