A chicken for every pot, a 3D printer for every school? Maybe! Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams has announced his intention to get a 3D printer into every one of Brooklyn's almost 1,000 schools. This move would be huge for educational adoption of the technology and surely serve as a model for other large districts. Adams has been in discussions with Brooklyn-based MakerBot, which he hopes will be the supplier. As of now, there are no details on the funding source, though Adams has already stated his intent to use more than $61M of the 2016 budget to improve on in-school technology. MakerBot CEO Jonathan Jaglom has also acknowledged the importance of education to his company's initiatives, and may have some plans up his sleeve.
