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.

Using our website’s technology, projects that qualify for this funding offer will appear on the site with under $100 to go and the foundation or corporate logo on the project page. However, funding is only applied to projects if citizens fund the remaining cost before the grant runs out or the project expires.
