We’ve reached our initial goal! Thank you to all of our generous donors for helping us raise this staggering amount in less than a single day! With the collected funds from this campaign, we’ll be able to buy plenty of supplies for our prototyping: electronics, materials, and especially piezoelectrics! But even though we’re coming out of our first day of fundraising with a resounding success, we’ve got lots of work ahead of us. Now that we’ve secured funding, we’re going to get to work in the lab, testing and designing to make our dream come true. We’re around the first bend, but we’re not done yet. After all, this is a marathon, not a sprint.
One Small Step: This donation will allow us to purchase small amounts of materials for our project, or simple electrical components for designing our circuit, such as wiring.
Step It Up: This donation will allow us to purchase an Arduino microcontroller to use for our circuits.
Strong Foot Forward: This donation will allow us to purchase larger amounts of materials for our project, or more complex electrical components for designing our circuit, such as sensors.
Making Strides: This donation will allow us to purchase licenses for modeling software that we will use to design our circuits and hardware.
One Giant Leap: This donation will allow us to purchase well-crafted piezoelectric crystals and contribute to our funds for conferences to allow us to present our findings.
