"Having a 3D printer for my students for the first time is going to be a game changer! It will be one of the gateways for our young ladies to get inspired and explore the field of STEAM as they learn and create 3D prints on the Makerbot for their Robotics Team and science classes. They have also learned about the impact and value of giving back to community by experiencing firsthand the generosity of Matterhackers."
— Kavita Sadwal, Science Teacher and Robotics Coach at the Detroit International Academy for Young Women (Detroit area winner)
“MatterHackers is so happy to provide a 3D printer, training, and tech support services to local schools around the country in partnership with ImplementAM. Schools, small businesses, and corporations who are implementing 3D printing into their workflows and curriculum often start with inexpensive, accessible desktop FDM printers, and we are honored to offer our expertise to the organizers and participants of this informative and fun roadshow.”
