Changes

You want a sponsor who is forward-thinking and technology-inclined, but also someone who is willing to be realistic and results-driven. Chris Ashley shared that “vision” is what is most important to come from your team, and “practicality” is what is most important to come from your sponsor. When seeking searching for your sponsor, it can be beneficial to seek for those with great influence in your school's administration to provide knowledge, leverage, and resources to aid your quest. Sponsors who are “action-biased” and willing to push your team when things are beginning to stagnate are key to a project’s success, because there will undoubtably be obstacles (including days when it seems like nothing is working out.)
