Be More Convincing?

Robots are coming, there’s no question about it. They’re everywhere from Mars to your living room and in between. In order for our kids to understand them and leverage them to full advantage our kids need to understand how robots work and how to talk to them. 3D printers are sexier than what I’m making. They’re also a heck of a lot harder to put together, calibrate, fix, and program. That’s why I’ve designed my kits to teach the fundamentals in a much safer and less expensive way. If you can put together a Drawbot and understand how it works then you can probably assemble a 3D printer without blowing $600-$2000. Does that sound reasonable? I hope so.

The challenge is fitting all that into 10 seconds or less and getting parents and teachers to listen. So I ask you, dear reader: How would you do it? I need to get my message out to the people who need to hear it and I don’t know how. As you can tell from the link at the top of the page, my IndieGoGo campaign is not doing so hot. Your help would be awesome.

I’m going to get a chance to practice my sales pitch at the Vancouver 2012 New Forms Festival from September 13-16. Come out and say hi?
