Thank you to the 71 donors who helped make this campaign possible. Your donation helped push us to be the third highest Berkeley Crowdfunding project to go over their goal for the month of April. The TIME project would not be possible without your help.

Hi all, 

For everyone interested in meeting the STAC team, we will be tabling at Cal Day on Saturday, April 22nd from 10am-3pm. More info about Cal Day, UC Berkeley's annual Open House, can be found at http://calday.berkeley.edu/.

Our two tables will be located on UC Berkeley campus, one in front of the Bechtel Engineering Building and the second between Soda Hall and Etcheverry Hall on Hearst Avenue, Berkeley. Come say Hi and bring your friends/family. Everyone is welcome!

Additionally, we will be demonstrating our TIME and CubeSat prototypes at the UC Berkeley Jacobs Hall Showcase. The Showcase will occur the morning of Thursday, May 4th in Jacobs Hall on Ridge Road, Berkeley. Come see the TIME project live!

Attached is a picture of us tabling at the Innovate @ Cal event this past week.

Again, thank you for all of your support! We truly appreciate it and encourage you to help us keep the momentum going. Remember to share us on your social media, tell your friends about the TIME project, or come check us out at these various events!

Breaking Records and Shooting Higher!

March 31, 2017

Thank you to the 38 family members and friends who have helped us reach our original crowdfunding goal! 

We have officially become the FIRST Berkeley crowdfunding project to reach our crowdfunding goal before our official public launch on April 1st!!! This new record is a shared victory between STAC and all of you! The members of STAC are truly grateful for everyone's support. 

The support we have received from all of our friends and family is motivating us to shoot higher. We now have a new stretch goal of $10,000!

The extra $5,000 will be used to deliver our payload to Blue Origin in late Fall 2017 (see budget breakdown for more info). Help us reach for the stars by sharing our campaign.

Again, thank you to everyone who has helped us so far!!

March 28, 2017

Thank you to everyone for the contributions thus far!

In just one day we have reached over half of our original campaign goal, thanks to supporters like you. This project would not be possible without your help and generosity. 

Keep this momentum going by telling your friends/family or sharing on your social media.
