The site is still pretty new, we've only been online for just under 2 months, but so far we have one project that has already received 33% of it's goal amount (over a thousand dollars so far!). We are invested in the success of the projects on the site! Sometimes this means pulling down a project so that the project creators can rethink the proposal and have a greater chance of success. We did have one project that we are reevaluating, and we are now helping the researcher reshape the scope of his proposal.

We have awesome Buzzfeed articles clearly articulating all of our advantages in .gif form.

Great! If you could contact us via our website: "https://starter.gatech.edu/#contactUs", or send us a DM on Twitter: @gatechstarter, we would love to work something out.

Thank you so much for the love and support!

That is very disappointing. I was looking forward to lasers online.

In order to post a project, you currently have to be a part of the Georgia Tech community (student, staff or faculty). From there you can visit our website Https://starter.gatech.edu and log-in using your GaTech credentials. Once you are logged in, there will be a step-by-step wizard to help you through the application process.

In short, we require a budget, proposal, and if you are a student, a faculty mentor. Also, the project has to be peer-reviewed and put through our legal department before we post it on the site.
