We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

We're in the UMN blog today!

Update #3 · May 3, 2012 · comment

Hey there,

The University of Minnesota College of Design is running a blog about Shelter. Check it out: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/design/designatmn/2012/05/help-shelter-return-to-haiti.html

We're gotten nearly a hundred mentions on Twitter and people are spreading the word on Facebook, too.  Let's keep this going!  Please consider sharing the above link around - it will benefit Shelter and the College of Design, too. They've been great friends of the project. 

You might also have seen the new trailer I posted, a view from the edit room.

Thanks for all your help.
