"Our supporters include individuals like Tom McDonnell, Elisabeth Whyte and Kellin Ulibarri! Thank you for your support in Round #3 of the #SciFund Challenge! There is still time! We still have 5 days left with $425 to go in "Telepathic Cyborg Robots" and $370 to go in "Digitize the World"! Supporters are citizen-scientists who see value in my work with young learners and public school educations, trying to encourage STEM interest while students are young enough to develop wholly-new interests for their future studies, college and careers in engineering, medicine, computer science, and electronics. Together with individuals like these, we will test new capabilities using inexpensive readily-available technologies for use in classrooms and educational settings around the world. Thanks to all of you who are helping to make this research possible!" Delete the scoop?
