Oh well, worth a shot. No way we're going to commit 2.5k to this printer. We have bigger fish to fry.

I'm hoping they're just waiting until normal business hours again, tomorrow. A lot of the projects got posted (went live) over the weekend. This is the most recent news we have from DonorsChoose which indicated funding is available for all full time public teachers.

Updated 11/13/13 – 6:32 pm: Almost Home funding is now available for all public school teachers, nationwide! - See more at: http://www.donorschoose.org/blog/201....CV7LUu2e.dpuf

I really hope I didn't spend 6 hours getting a dozen of our teachers signed up for nothing. I do see a lot of completed projects with Almost Home funding from outside of Brooklyn, NY. So, that's hopeful.

I did notice that a lot of the MakerBot projects are under the Visual Arts category and have received Anonymous donor 50% match, but not Almost Home funding.
