Crowdfunding
To raise money and awareness for our project, we started a crowdfunding. As a result of the support from the crowdfunding, we are able to afford more lab materials. Furthermore, we ran a lot of tests in order to test all the varieties of plasmids. Only with a lot of testing, it is highly likely that the plasmid with the highest biosafety and biocontainment system will be chosen. Performing all these experiments is very expensive. Our promotional video rallied people to donate to our cause. Additionally, our message was spread by different news outlets and ambassadors that shared the crowdfunding with their community. This outreach helped us reach a wide audience, which we are very grateful for! On this page you can see all the people who donated to our project. We would like to thank every one of them for their kind donations!
