Yesterday Amy and I contributed $10,000 to the MakerBot Academy campaign which is on a mission to put a MakerBot 3D printer in every school in the United States.

We did it via a contribution on Donors Choose, one of our favorite non-profit contribution sites.

We specifically finished out the funding for five MakerBots for the following teachers in their classrooms:

• Mr. Hendry – Yorba Linda High School, Yorba Linda, CA
• Mrs. Bragdon – Brownsboro Elementary School, Brownsboro, TX
• Mr. Eiland – Woodlawn High School, Baton Rouge, LA
• Mr. Condon – Decorah High School, Decorah, IA
• Mr. Colling – Coronado High School, Scottsdale, AZ 

Amy and I are planning to give a lot more to this campaign, but we decided to do something tangible right now by finishing off several of the campaigns on Donors Choose.

For those of you who have asked in the past “what can I do for you Brad?”, here’s an easy one. Just go on the MakerBot Academy Donors Choose page and make a contribution of any size to one of the campaigns. You’ll be helping the next generation.
