We started with a dream. Wow America responded! We got 534 schools that applied to the Inventables 50 States Program. It shows the interest in 3D carving is exploding.

We got applications from every state in the Union! We even got a few from Europe which was kinda funny. The states people keep asking about are Alaska, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. They all had great submissions!
As of today Round 2 of the selection process has officially begun. Inventables will be donating 3D carving machines to K-12, High Schools, Community Colleges and Universities in all 50 states.
We were blown away at how many people applied. Your energy and effort on this project has been tremendous. It really shows what we can do as a nation with a little bit of focused effort. We have decided to keep the momentum going and every school will advance to round 2.
