I have scoured Kickstarter and have chosen 4 crowdfunding campaigns that I think are interesting enough that you’ll want to check them out. Click through to see my list of this week’s notable crowdfunding campaigns.
Cubetto – Coding without screens for kids aged 3 and up
Blurb by Ryan Pagel
What is it?
The Cubetto is a Montessori-approved toy for children ages 3+ that introduces and teaches logic based coding in a fun and screen free format.
Why do I like it?
I have two boys, ages 6 and 4 who both attend a Montessori school. Through the use of different maps and stories and a little robot, the children have been introduced to coding in a fun and very approachable way. Right out of the box we were playing and having fun. After a few days of exploring this, it has become one of my children’s favorite indoor activities. When I first received this I didn’t know if this would be something my children would enjoy but after playing with this for a few days, I would recommend this to any children with an interest in science, robots, puzzles, remote controlled cars, computers, etc.
Where can I find more info?
With 12 days left in the campaign (ends July 19, 2017) Primo Toys has crushed their goal of $100,000 with over $577,000 in pledges and nearly 2,600 backers. There are only a handful of advanced purchase packages available on their Kickstarter page so if you are considering this, move quickly before they are all gone. You can pre-order a Cubetto Adventure pack starting at $50. Estimated shipping date is in September of 2017. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Scribbler DUO: The World’s First Dual-Nozzle 3D Printing Pen
What is it?
The Scribbler DUO is a handheld 3D printing pen.
Why do I like it?
I like the Scribbler DUO because it features two nozzles. That means that you can use two different colors of filament in the pen to create interestingly colored models and you can finish those models even faster since there are two nozzles.
Where can I find more info?
With 20 days left in the campaign, The Scribbler DUO campaign is still working towards their funding goal of $15,750. You can pre-order a Scribbler DUO starting at $99. After the Scribbler DUO campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in August 2017. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
TELOUR | Minimalist Spinner Wallet
What is it?
TELOUR is a minimalist wallet that’s also a fidget spinner.
Why do I like it?
I like the TELOUR wallet because it’s a simple minimalist wallet AND it’s also a fidget spinner. Crowdfunding campaigns for minimalist wallets are usually pretty popular, so a designer decided to create a wallet with the latest crazy – fidget spinners. Silly? Yes. But it’s a genius idea and I can’t believe it’s not already up to eleventy million dollars in pledges!
Where can I find more info?
With 40 days left in the campaign, The TELOUR campaign is still working towards their funding goal of $10,000. You can pre-order a TELOUR starting at $29. After the TELOUR campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in December 2017. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
BondicEVO™ Liquid Plastic Welder
What is it?
BondicEVO is a battery operated pocket-sized liquid plastic welding tool.
Why do I like it?
I like the BondicEVO because it looks like a great tool for makers and DIYers. Just squirt the liquid plastic on a broken item, shine the special curing light on the liquid plastic and within 5 seconds, it’s hardened, allow you to easily repair broken products instead of trashing them.
Where can I find more info?
With 40 days left in the campaign, The BondicEVO campaign is getting close to reaching their funding goal of $34,891. You can pre-order a BondicEVO starting at $11. After the BondicEVO campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in August 2017. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
