Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 28, 2012.
Reflecting on this last year, we are very grateful for all the support we have gotten for our new venture, from old friends and new. Thank you for being a part of our ever-growing Kizoom family. We are touched by your enthusiasm and honored by your contributions. We wish you all a Happy Holiday season. May you tickle your brain's fancy with food, friends and family!
Best wishes,
Erica and Jessica
(and Ned and friends)
For all of those that are receiving physical rewards (t-shirts, bags, prints, books), we are happy to say that they are IN THE MAIL!!!
You should have also ALL received your App or PDF book via email. If you did NOT (except for Canada - we are still working on you!), please let us know at info@kizoomlabs.com.
We hope you all enjoy your rewards and wear/use/show them with pride, knowing you helped to make Ned the Neuron a reality!
Thanks so much for taking part in our campaign. We could not have done it without your support.
Happy holidays,
Erica and Jess
We are very happy to announce that we will be launching the first version of The Adventures of Ned the Neuron for the iPad this Friday, October 12th in honor of the Society for Neuroscience conference that starts the next day. We are presenting at the conference and are excited to share Ned with the 40K neuroscientists there!
We are also excited to send YOU the App or PDF this Friday (assuming we can figure out all the technicalities of gifting Apps to 300+ people - fingers crossed!), so please fill out the questionnaire that we sent you about your rewards if you have not done so already so that we know which one to send you and to what address. We are still in the process of kid-testing and refining the App (keep your eyes open for updates in the future), but we want you to be the first people that have the App for sure! Feel free to always send us comments or feedback if you have any.
We hope you enjoy the App/book as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
Erica and Jess
We reached our goal and are FUNDED!
We cannot thank you all enough for all of the amazing support we have gotten during this campaign. Whew! What a cliffhanger! Thank you all for helping to make Ned the Neuron a reality and for helping to grow our Kizoom family. Ned, Stella, and G would like to share their feeling too (see video below) :-)
We will be sending you a questionnaire shortly to get information from you for your rewards, so keep your eyes open for that. We are excited to get your your book and t-shirts and all!!!
From the Kizoom team:
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!
