1. Membership per Year - For one team this is currently about $10 per student (2007-2008) or $180 for the Varsity team. If a school or group wishes to have additional teams (Junior Varsity), the additional cost is $120 for each additional team.  This is ALL the dues a school or group ever pays even if they advance to the National Level.  
2. Transportation and food costs vary according to the distance a school must travel to the regional tournament in your area. We have 11 regional tournaments to make sure that all schools are relatively close to a regional competition.
3. Coaches Workshop (Optional) – Highly recommended, but not required. The cost is $75 per person attending plus travel to Raleigh, NC. This workshop is usually held in October.

However, even these devices can be built at a minimal cost.  The majority of the events do not require materials that are not usually in the school.  Some events require taxonomical key books or allow students to bring resources with them that should be in the school. A few events require that students bring a simple kit of supplies such as beakers, test tubes, etc. to reduce the incredible workload on the volunteer event leaders in setting up for the event. Again, nothing in these kits should be outside a normal science teacher's supplies.  We encourage students to build their own portfolios for the events they decide to compete in.  Students do the research and build their own portfolio or “study guide.”
