This was very quick and painless. In less than 48 hours the Donors Choose project was written, approved, and fully funded.  |

So pretty much all you guys had to do was make a project on Donorschoose.org, and voila, 3D printer?
We're not a school-based team, but our lead mentor/founder is a teacher with the local school district. I just emailed this out to him, sounds like a great opportunity.
