A lot has happened since the kickstarter campaign this summer. We have so much to share with you all. Stay tuned for an upcoming announcement!!!

Less than 24 hours to go!!! At midnight tonight will be your last chance to help us reduce violence in Chicago by outfitting a full production 3D lab and offering under served residents on the South and West sides of Chicago access to 3D printing, training and entrepreneurship.

If there is anything we can clarify, inform or inspire you to pledge please let us know asap. If we haven't painted a clear enough picture of the initiative please let us know and we will call you. Any critiques, information, questions or words of wisdom to help us be successful, we are all ears!!!

Don't be part of the problem... Be part of the solution

Violence and crime in society impacts us all. We all know someone who has fallen victim to a crime or violence. Whether it is a family member, colleague, friend or even yourself. Have you ever thought about what chain of events, how specific they had to be, for you or whoever, to cross paths with the perpetrator on that day at that time? On your side, maybe if you would have changed your shirt before you left the house, or took 5 minutes longer to put on your makeup, or parked your car at the other end of the parking lot, would have made the difference between you getting robbed at gunpoint or going about your day without incident.

On the criminals side it is a lot more complicated than a casual action on a random day that that determines whether or not they are one day facing you with a pistol or a prospectus. That one moment in time when someone you know is looking down the wrong end of a barrel began years ago and led to this point. It was a journey of bad choices, zero quality mentor-ship, poor education, abuse whether physical or psychological including drugs and alcohol, hopeless environments, isolation from good employment options and thoughtful life choices, along with violence perpetrated upon them.

We all know that no one of us can address all of these problems at once but if we don't begin to chip away somewhere and stand by idly as if it is not our problem to solve, chances are everyone of us is sure to face the violence of our neglect at some point in our lives. Some of us closer and more tragically than others.

Invention Intention 3rd Dimension aims to address the challenges of quality mentor-ship, isolation from good employment options and thoughtful life choices. Woven throughout our 3D curriculum we teach team building skills, how to analyze situations and make better decisions, conflict resolution and problem solving. We demonstrate how broadening one's skills multiplies their life's options.

We know that we can not get to everyone but everyone we get to counts! This is not a cure all end all but it is a proven solution. We have to work together if we are to impact societal ills and this is where ii3D is working to our maximum capacity but we need your help. Don't stand idly by. You don't have to do the work. Pledge to our campaign and let us do the work. We have the collaborative partners, we have the space, we have the outreach, we have the committed team. We don't have the money for the equipment. Once we raise this money, we have corporations lined up to take us to the next level. However, if we don't raise it here, they will look at is as if no one cares about this and will support other things like basketball camps reinforcing to our children that sports and entertainment are their only value in society and those careers are the only way out of poverty.

Let's change how our children think about themselves and their options! Pledge now and be part of the solution!! We only have 5 days left!!

Update 4: Hear what Chicagoans are saying about Invention Intention 3rd Dimension · Invention... 3D printing has become mainstream in our vernacular, however, many people not only don't know what it is, but have never heard of it. By the time many inner city kids get to high school they have already seen and been exposed to 90% of what they believe the world to be, and will carry these beliefs…

I want to thank all of you who have pledged money, offered up partnerships, and have gotten on board to make this a reality. Let me say that I hope I haven't annoyed you with a bunch of e-mails, begging for dollars. It is as uncomfortable for me as i am sure it is for you, HOWEVER, beg, beg, beg,!!! We are in the last 10 days of our kickstarter campaign and we are a long way off from reaching our goal. The substance of the initiative has evolved in amazing fashion and the potential for our kids and under served adults is even greater than when we started on the 15th.

We still need your help spreading the word and building awareness in circles that have the wherewithal and inclination to support this initiative financially. I promise you I will only send you 3 more e-mails before the end of this campaign next week. . There will be a new update today.

Here is a sample-
• Students will be taught how to launch small 3D printing businesses and earn cash by posting their designs on 3D forums that will expose them to international markets
• Students will learn how to design artifacts related to human anatomy which will cross train and supplement their leanings in biology, anatomy and bio mechanics
• Students will be plugged into a global community of designers, architects, medical engineers, artists and inventors with an opportunity engage with what was once a nearly inaccessible circle of progressive thinkers unless one could afford it.

Please help us diversify this emerging field of change agents and shine a bright light on the immense talent that lies waiting for access and inspiration, that are simply stuck in bad situations. Everyone needs a shot at greatness. It makes us all better people and our neighborhoods a better place to live. Please take a few minutes to share this or back it. We are all in this together.
