RE: Funding Education with the Blockchain, Update Post #3: Final Totals for Volume 2!

Those notes are too sweet. You have a big heart for doing this.
I just find it sad that teachers do not get their supplies funded for them though...
I look forward to seeing more of this from you and hope other people start similar projects.

Might I ask what made you want to do this specific project in general?

Hey @branbello! Thanks for your comment.

It's quite sad that teachers don't have more funds for classroom resources. I just filed our taxes for last year, and we spent over $500 out of pocket on my wife's classroom, and we can only get a deduction for less than half of that amount. It's a shame, but I'm hoping that blockchain efforts like this will help fund education in the future!

I decided on this project because it's near where I live. I wanted to start locally and then branch out. I originally picked three projects, which you can read about in my previous post about this initiative, and then two of them got funded before this post paid out, leaving the lego and magna-tile project!

I'm probably going to feature this project again in next week's Volume so we can get it closer to the goal and hopefully fully fund it. It's great to be able to bring these projects to completion.

Thank you for your comment and support!
