Hello all, First let me say how impressed I've been with the development and community participation surrounding BuzzTouch! I'm a middle school teacher in the USA and have been doing app development with students for a little over a year. We started with App Inventor (before the MIT switch) and have since worked with several software packages. Since discovering BT, I've successfully installed it on my shared hosting and it works like a charm (except I haven't really developed anything yet). I see how to upgrade to a license so that I can use the API key to build source code and I have no problem paying for it. My question is --> can my school pay for BT for a year? This would mean BT would have to get set up as a vendor in my district and then we'd send a purchase order, then BT would send an invoice, then BT would get paid. BT has a lot of potential in education. I am looking forward to using it with students in this coming school year. That means I've got this summer to learn all about it! ;) Thanks.. Chris PS...I emailed a lot of this to the email address, but never heard back.

We've done lots of "education" projects with BT and look forward to meeting you. Comments Never heard back... yikes. I'll find the email and reply with details.

I am especially interested in educational pricing for my school. Of course we're a 501(c)3 public school. Chris Comments Great! I look forward to hearing from you.

We'd love to use BT with our students at Code Camp this summer, and would want to self-host. Comments I'd like to hear more about this option, if possible!
