Virginia’s Kickstarter Project

We’re proud to announce a Kickstarter project by our very own Virginia Stewart. Don’t know what Kickstarter is? Here’s a quick primer…

Kickstarter.com is a site where creative artistic-related projects like film, music, sculpture, etc can get funding from people who visit the site and pledge money to support the project. The creator of the project describes the project and chooses a target amount and an amount of time. If the project reaches its goal by the deadline selected, the creator gets the money. If it doesn’t, the credit cards do not get charged. People who pledge receive rewards for pledging at different amounts.

Now this may sound simple, and in theory it is. But it actually takes a good deal of work to get a project up and running. Virginia has been working on her project for quite some time—defining the project, writing the description, selecting the rewards, making the video describing the project, and on and on. I could describe her project, but instead, why not just click here, watch her video, find out more about the project, and pledge some amount of money to support this project and Virginia’s future endeavors? And help her spread the word by posting the link to her project on other sites!

The News Is Getting Out

Quick note: Sphere College was mentioned in an article about the Saxifrage School in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Sunday. (Here’s the website for the Saxifrage School. Kudos!) And we’re closing in on obtaining reprint rights for the feature article in Chronicle of Higher Education about Sphere College. When that deal is closed we’ll be able to place that article here for you to read. Good times!
