All year long, our engineers have been saving and refurbishing every ChompSaw that gets sent back to us due to manufacturing issues. There aren’t that many (luckily), but we repair each machine thoroughly for the educators, nonprofits, and schools on our donation list!
In honor of Giving Tuesday, we've randomly selected 300 applicants from our donation pool (full list below!) and are on track to start sending repaired ChompSaws to classrooms starting in February. 👏

Know a Teacher Who Should Be on the List? 🍎
If you're an educator and would like to join our list, just fill out our Donation Candidate Application and we will do our best to get you a ChompSaw as soon as we can.
Why This Matters 💡:
We had the absolute pleasure (and surprise!) of hearing the ChompSaw featured on the NPR podcast On Point. A journalist asked her fourth-grade son, “Can you think of something recently that you were really excited by?”
Not to spoil what happens next... but he goes on to describe a project he’s working on in art class where they’re “making inventions that no one has ever made before to help solve a problem.” His invention was a flexing crane with wheels built using the ChompSaw. ❤️
You can listen to the clip below, but moments like this remind us of the impact and need for kid-safe tools.
At Chompshop, we believe creativity should feel approachable, not intimidating, and that kids learn best when they’re free to experiment, make mistakes, and play their way through the process. Nothing makes us happier than seeing and hearing kids work through a problem or turn an idea into a design using the ChompSaw.
Thank you for helping us get more of our machines into the hands of educators and their amazing students!
