Prototype Workshops

Update #2 · Feb 27, 2012 · comment

You guys are AMAZING! We can honestly say that watching our list of backers grow (to almost 90!) over the past few days has really kept the energy level here super high (which is a good thing since we're all pretty low on sleep)! Thanks so much for your support, and an even bigger thanks for telling your friends about our campaign.  We appreciate all your messages of support, and we're super excited to be closing in on the $5000 mark!

Over the past few days, we've been busy contacting teachers and parents, setting up times to run some prototype workshops at their schools. So far we've gotten the go-ahead from two local schools and are feverishly crafting some awesome workshops to bring to the students there.  We're always on the lookout for more schools to visit, so if any of you have relationships with a school you think might like a visit from SparkLab, definitely let us know!

Stay tuned for updates (and pictures?) from our prototype workshops, and keep on spreading the word!
