Top Ambitious Kickstarter Projects

 

Why talented people so often have no money and live in extreme poverty? Many years ago talented painters had to paint something they didn’t want to in order to earn some money. There were many cases when people had to do something they didn’t like and finally it ruined them and their talent. Hopefully in modern world things are changed. Or maybe they didn’t?

Today we may see that talented people often receive some help and we may think about Stephen Hawking as our hero because he made a great contribution to science. What about other people, maybe not so famous but very wise? These people have great and interesting projects, but unfortunately all those projects demand start-up capital. To the great happiness there is a special site called “Kickstarter” for such people. It helps people with their ideas by giving money. But let’s look at it in details.

How it works?

So first of all, let’s look how it all works. This site serves to attract people who can contribute some money for any project they like. It’s like a source for donations but as a result people will be able to see new useful and interesting things, so they give money for a good cause. It’s even more like investing than charity. You may get help with classes online if you need any, for example with essay or article. Our service always ready to help!

Person, who has interesting ideas and wants to implement his project in life place information, photos or video about it on the site. He defines limitation in time and minimum sum of money that he needs. For this limit of time others may donate money. If minimum sum wasn’t gathered by time, all money returns to their owners.

Of course the site takes some percent (about five percent) from invested money, but that’s not so much, is it? All descriptions and registered projects stay at site even after ending of the time for investigation. However that’s not bad too.

Maybe this system needs some improving however for today it is one of the best ways for people to be independent and create something useful for others. Now it’s time to look at site itself and some interesting projects. So, here we go.

Kickstarter – father of many interesting things

We can definitely call this site as we called it. Because thanks to it, many people got ability to transform something, that existed only in their brain, into a real world. Site has different categories so everybody may find something interesting: videos, technical inventions, music, crafting and many other things. So we will look at some projects from these categories. We will sort them by popularity, however another important mark is amount of money that project gathered. So if you want you may go this awesome site and look at many other projects that are not in our list.

1. The Wabash Lights (category: Art)

Do you like Christmas? Do you like all that garlands which are so magnificent? Two guys have something even better! But before, listen to a short story.

Train tracks on Wabash Avenue, Chicago are quite dull place, dark and unpleasant for tourists. However usual people often meet and live there. So, how to make that place more bright and place warm atmosphere there?

Jack C. Newel and his mate had great idea. It’s like gave people Christmas with all its lights but for the whole year. Their plan is to install twenty four thousand special diodes that will change their color. So they will gave colorful light and road under the bridge will be like a rainbow. Very beautiful sight and moreover, people will be able to “order” lights what color they should turn into. People may use their phones to print color and then connect with those lights.

Creators of the project had already made beta test of their project by using just four blocks of lights in order to understand if it works and what is reaction of people. They were satisfied, that’s why now guys need investigation to turn dull and dark bridge into bright Christmas tree.

2. Foldscope(category: technology)

How often did you look through the microscope when studied at school? Once or twice? Or you didn’t at all? Microscope is really expensive and not even all laboratories have them. But how to make children interested in all that biological terms without practice and without showing them world of molecules and atoms?

Fortunately two guys: Manu Prakash and Jim Cybulski invented microscope but it costs only one dollar. Why? Because it’s made from paper and so small that can be put in your pocket. All you need is to make it using origami technique and then enjoy by another world which foldscope allows you to see.

As creators say this invention may be useful for children at schools for usual people who are curious about biology and even for different professors.

As inventors made some foldscopes and distributed them they got a lot of feedback. That’s why they created a new project at Kickstarter in order to gain more money and be able to produce more. They go to different schools and give their invention to children, showing them how it works and what they can see through it. Their next step is that people will be able to exchange their images which they see using foldscope.
