Do you all have any recommendations on how to expedite this? What is the current status of the large room and using it for  events?

For background, this teacher origianally contacted info@sudoroom but never got a response, and called the SR number today, slightly frantic. I think it would be really awesome if we were able to help her out. This event seems quite an incredible opportunity for young people.

Hi Sudo Room!

I'm a teacher at Oakland Tech High, not far from you. I've organized a team of students who are all taking part in the CyberPatriot info sec competition. They're training really hard--and learning a lot--so that they can enter the competition. We've run into a stumbling block, though--the competition windows for reach round are always on a weekend, and the school district has informed me that I can't use the school on the weekend without paying.

We are a small group--me, our mentor, and about four students--and we need space to compete once a month (with one month where we compete twice) for about six hours on a Sunday afternoon.

Is there any way we can negotiate use of some space at a reasonable rate? They're really excited about this, but I'm afraid we might not have a place to meet and compete if I can't find a space we can afford.

Thanks so much for any consideration you can give to us, or any suggestions for other locations we might try!

Best,
-Vivienne Pustell
