MakerBot Industries is giving away ten MakerBots to ten teachers at any educational level.  Let’s just consider this my entry:

• Your name
  • Uh.  I’ll stick with “MakerBlock” for now.
• Your school’s name
  • Sheesh.  These are getting harder.  Okay, how about “MakerBlock.com”?  No?  “MakerBlock U”?
• The address you’d like the MakerBot sent to if you are chosen
  • Same place as my last order.  ;)
• A paragraph describing how you would integrate the MakerBot into your curriculum. Include some description of the learning environment and what you teach
  • I would integrate a MakerBot into my curriculum by using it as a demonstration of iterative design, digital fabrication, digital design, invention, and innovation.  The learning environment is the whole freaking internet. 1  I teach digital plastic AWESOME.
• A lesson plan that you will implement if you get a MakerBot
  1. Pssh.  Just one?  I’ll give you THREE.
  2. You’ve got a MakerBot, a laptop, unlimited plastic and electricity.  You are trapped in a mineshaft.  How do you get out?
  3. You’ve got a MakerBot, a laptop, unlimited plastic and electricity.  You are trapped in a mineshaft with a tiger.  How do you get out?
  4. You’ve got a MakerBot, a laptop, unlimited plastic and electricity.  You are trapped in a mineshaft with a tiger shark.  How do you get out?
