   The course looks really exciting. Very interested to see how it  
goes.  I am working on getting an elective into the local high school  
involving a Makerbot so I will be following your work closely.

    I think kickstarter would be great place to try for funding.  I

what you might change.  That would certainly make me pledge!

   Good luck.
