Update #5: Half way there and 25 days left!
Posted on June 1, 2010
We are just about half way there, with 25 days left! This means we will be raising just over $4500 in about three weeks, and we hope you can help us get there.
A big "Thank you!" to our many new backers! We are excited to see many supporters pledging for the new rewards, and also excited to hear more and more people voice their interest for a Trade School in their city. In the next few weeks we'll be putting together a short PDF/micro-site on how to best replicate Trade School's methods in other locations.
In the meantime, let's rev it up for the last stretch. Please tweet, retweet, or email our efforts to get Trade School running again for the fall!

Ellie led students through several drawing exercises -- in the dark, with sticks, with wire and with their own shadows.
