Update #6: Unsuccesful campaign
Hello everyone,
Unfortunately the eyeboard did not reach the funding goal. However, I am still looking forward to keep improving the eyeboard and keep studying to make more cool projects.
My journey has led me to continue my Engineering studies in college in the US which hasn't been an easy task considering the fact that I am not a US citizen. I recently enrolled at the University of New Orleans with a partial scholarship, with my parents' support and financial sacrifice I am paying the rest of my education.
If you feel like donating some money towards my education, I would really appreciate it (go to www.intelsath.com), or if you simply want to get an eyeboard kit you can also buy it from my website.
Thanks a lot for backing the eyeboard, I hope that you can support a future project of mine here at Kickstarter. Don't hesitate to contact me via email: lcruz[at]intelsath[dot com]
Best Regards
Sincerely,
Luis F. Cruz

Connected as Luis Cruz (283 friends)
I was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on March 11, 1993. I was raised in my native country, and graduated from High School under an 11-year program. Subsequently to my graduation in Honduras, I decided to come to the United States to finish my 12th grade in high school, and thus obtain my U.S High School diploma.
My desire for improvement is immense, and given the scarcity of resources and support in my country, I have managed to excel in the field of Digital Electronics and Computer Science. Just about to enter high school on August of 2007, I decided to follow my passion and be successful at life working in what I really liked to do. I began teaching myself several programming languages and other concepts in computer science. I first started pursuing a game developer career, until I began to venture into the digital electronics world when I was 16 years old.
My perseverance has taken me to work hard and pursue my dreams despite my economic limitation. I think that people shouldn’t wait for success knock at your door, but pursue your dreams with enough perseverance and dedication until you reach your goals.
Luis,
I am sorry that your project did not get the fund required. But I am very happy for you about starting your University degree. I wish you all the best and keep being a bright person.
Best regards and all the best,
Rodrigo Gomez
