Good news!

Over Spring Break our most persistent NYIT students made laser cutters on both campuses *dance*: 40 cuts, and 20 layers later, we've got almost one full pallet prototyped.

Filming the first pallet lift in 14 days. Constructing out first shelter a few weeks later.

Onward!

We are THRILLED to share that we reached our initial goal of $4000 this afternoon. THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We raised $1000 in just the last three days...
