From elementary school all the way up through college and university, schools around the world need to invest in the education of their students, and sometimes that means implementing the newest technology, including 3D printing. This technology is one of the more effective, and popular, ways to get students excited about learning problem solving, building, and design skills. Unfortunately, many schools have limited budgets, and it can be difficult to get the necessary approval and appropriate funding to build makerspaces and acquire classroom 3D printers, scanners, and software programs. However, it's not impossible: lots of institutions turn to education grants, to fund their programs and get students access to the technology. But how do you know which grant is the right one for your school? Where do you start looking? MakerBot decided to give educators a leg up on this sometimes complex process, and developed a Grant Resource Guide to make things a little easier - and told 3DPrint.com about some of the behind-the-scenes reasons for developing the guide.
