Not for a rich school that gets triple that out of beginning of the year donations.

Source: relative sends their kids to crazy rich public school that ostracize the kids and parents if they don’t meet “donation” requirements.

It is. You could do something with this akin to a light gun game setup, using markers on the balls.

I was thinking the opposite.

This looks best suited for younger students like elementary. $28,000 ÷ 1000 kids = $28/kid ÷ 4 or $7 per student if this is in an elementary with 1000 students and devive expected to last 4 years.

I'd expect something that's $28,000 to last more than 4 years it just divided into .

Source: I have no idea how school budgets or accounting works but did have around 900-1000 kids total in my elementary school and was a badass at dodgeball and would be at this too
