Having never used this technology before I guess I didn't know what to expect. They did twist off with some force.

On December 3rd the Donorschoose.org blog answered a few questions. Here are some quotes.

Mrs. G and Andrew – Sorry for the disappointment and general confusion around this offer. The offer initially was just for Brooklyn. And shortly after, it went national.

We’re working with the MakerBot team to receive additional funding so you and your students can take full advantage of this opportunity. You’ll find the latest updates on this blog.
