Re: Anybody hear of this - 3D printers for every FIRST team

Could the above statement from DonorsChoose be any more vague? I sent in a question to them. I sure hope these get funded. I have my fingers crossed.

It's a pretty bold statement to say you're putting these in every classroom by making over $2000 of funding available for every full time public school teacher in the US. It would reflect pretty poorly on both MakerBot and DonorsChoose if this claim turned out to be false, after public announcement.

If these are not funded as originally announced, my school and I will have literally lost several hundreds of dollars in time to get our teachers signed up for nothing. I really hope more funding comes through.
