The RTF Partners with MakerBot

We are partnering with MakerBot, a leader in 3D printing solutions for education, to provide training and guidance for our educators! Not only that, MakerBot is launching our partnership with a product donation for three of our grant recipients!

The RTF has partnered with MakerBot to provide more resources to our grant recipients.

Educators who receive MakerBot 3D printers as part of their RTF grant can access support through our MakerBot community partnership, where we will introduce you to the Education Manager for MakerBot for training and guidance.

MakerBot is generously sponsoring three RTF educators with MakerBot product packages. These include:

1 x MakerBot Sketch Sprint 3D Printer

1 x MakerBot Sketch PLA Filament Rainbow 10-Pack

1 x MakerBot Sketch PLA Filament Original 10-Pack

1 x MakerBot Classroom Certification (1 Teacher / 30 Students) – 1 Year

1 x MakerCare Extended Service Plan for MakerBot Sketch – 3 Years

The MakerBot Education Ecosystem: MakerBot provides everything you need to scale classroom 3D printing to your needs. Reliable and easy-to-use 3D printers. The largest 3D printing community for educators. Free lesson plans and curriculum. And MakerBot Certification.

We are thrilled to have a 3D Printing partner at the RTF. With this collaboration, our educators will have access to individual support with the MakerBot Education Manager, making their equipment more accessible and positioning them for successful long-term use.
