Creating a Kickstarter project

What is Kickstarter?

"world's largest funding platform for creative projects"

Student Guidelines

Students will choose their own groups of 2-3 members, and create an original project/company/organization, etc.

Week 1: Develop an idea, using inspiration from Kickstarter (or elsewhere), and answer following questions:

can be filling a societal need, or as simple as interest or hobby

Weeks 2 and 3: Create a short video, or series of images, that represents your creative project

  • Should reflect the three answers developed during Week 1
  • 1-2 minute video to help explain concept and goals
  • Can use images found online, green screen, reenactments - any of the techniques already utilized in previous projects
  • iMovie, Photoshop, GarageBand, etc.

Week 4: Editing the video/refining their Kickstarter page

Week 5: Sharing Kickstarter projects with class

  • Can use Google Doc to share links to all Kickstarter pages
  • Groups will present their concept to class, and receive feedback on idea and development
  • Peer reviewing should reflect what students like about the project, and what could be improved upon

Critical aspects of the project

  • attempt to foster creativity, and provide an outlet for small, but influential ideas
  • with rise of technology, more opportunity for small businesses and ideas to flourish
  • Kickstarter allows for development and reception of creative ideas that otherwise may not have had an outlet for expression
  • offers immense opportunity for creative thinking
  • reflects world of diverse thoughts, and gives privilege and influence to unique ideas
  • group work will ideally reflect amalgamation of interests - social interaction, as well as participation on a global scale

original project centered around formation of a company

wanted a broader scope - using Kickstarter as formatting guideline, allows for much more creativity and more easily expresses a range of interests
