MakerBot threw down the #WeNeedaMakerBot giveaway contest and schools lit up the Internet with one inspiring story after another. To every school that participated, we celebrate you and all that you do for your students. After totalling up the likes, shares, and tweets, the results are in. Here are the winning schools and how each will be using their free 3D printer. A refurbished Replicator® Desktop 3D Printer is on its way!

Nancy Elementary in Nancy, Kentucky
“The students at Nancy Elementary are going to be ecstatic to learn that they are the proud owners of their very own MakerBot. They can use their engineering and design skills to bring their ideas to life. What a wonderful opportunity to have in our elementary school! Students will also have the opportunity to cut down on a constraint in our lab—having enough pieces to build their robots while in the STEM lab. They will now be able to duplicate our building pieces using the MakerBot 3D printer. Every child deserves to take part in working with current technology that will and continue to change our world. Thank you to MakerBot for opening up new doors for our students!” —Karla Johnson, Project Lead the Way Teacher.
