Hmm.... What will the product or project be exactly? How will help them not carry their books? Where are you located also, Kickstarter has guidelines regarding which countries can start campaigns at the moment.

Yes, so right now "Kickstarter is open to backers all over the world. Meanwhile, project creation is currently available to individuals in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands who meet the requirements below."

May need to either set up a corporation in one of these countries or use another platform like Indiegogo.

This is s good idea with a sound basis for support in the US due to many peoples goal to reduce waste and carbon emissions. There are currently a few well-funded startups in this space so be sure you have a unique angle and a well planned strategy to secure the rights from publishers.

Hmmm! it is hearing nice and also something interesting. Please explain one thing that what is in that bag which weights 20 lbs. Otherwise your project is very helpful for the students as they have their worst experience while holding bags on their shoulders.
