Launching STEM Spy (1st Kickstarter project)
Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2020 11:11 pm
Hi my name is Brian Kampper owner of the MobileQuest STEM Center in Cranston, RI. We have been in business for four years but being a "hands-on" learning company in the middle of a pandemic has been difficult. Our retail location, school programs, and programming books have taken a dramatic hit. Our team took this opportunity to develop STEM SPY a subscription-based product that combines education and entertainment.
STEM Spy is a monthly subscription box geared towards children aged 6-11. Participants will receive a field kit containing 30 items that they will use to create, design, and solve classified missions. Working with a Rhode Island-based video production team, MobileQuest has made videos of secret agents in the field who need a junior agent’s assistance. They must use their field kit along with critical thinking and problem solving to create a solution. Each month participants will receive new supplies for their field kit along with a new classified mission.
We invested in our video promo and have a decent email base from being in business for the past four years. The challenge we have is expanding from a regional market to a national market. We have funding to create the initial 500 boxes we hope Kickstarter will help get some national attention and funds to increase production.
I would love any advice on how to get additional eyes on our launch page and page when it is live.
