Once upon a time, if you missed a Kickstarter campaign it could be months or even YEARS until you could purchase that product again. Sometimes projects never became available to the public again after being on Kickstarter. Amazon Launchpad is here to change that.
Amazon is a trusted household name! The company is working to make these cool, crowdfunded products much more accessible to people who might be new to crowdfunding, but aren’t new to online shopping
Here are eight awesome Kickstarter-funded products that you can now purchase online at Amazon Launchpad Made on Kickstarter Collection. This is a great place to start your Christmas shopping if you are looking for unique gifts that will stand out:
1. Prynt, Get Instant Photo with The Prynt Case for Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6
Smartphones and digital cameras are super advanced now and make it easy for us to capture all our lives’ most important moments in high definition. Still, many of us have a nostalgic connection to old Polaroid cameras that almost instantly printed pictures that people could hold and enjoy for years.
Prynt has brought this back with their iPhone 6 and 6s cases that can print photos from anywhere. In a fun, modern twist, every picture is then linked to a video which the recipients can check out by using the Prynt mobile app.
2. PicoBrew Zymatic
PicoBrew originally raised over $661,000 for this all-grain at-home draft beer making appliance. The PicoBrew Zymatic can produce finished batched of up to 2.5 gallons and brews any type of beer in under four hours.
Along with the appliance, users get access to a recipe library that includes hundreds of award-winning craft beers that they can make automatically in the comfort of their home. This is a great machine for beginners who want to brew with consistent results.
3. MudWatt – Grow your own living fuel cell – Classic STEM Kit
MudWatt is an award-winning STEM science kit that lets kids dig and experiment with dirt and old food items to grow bacteria and power items like an LED light and a digital clock.
As kids experiment with these fuel cells and track their progress, they also get to unlock chapters of “The Electric Microbe,” a comic book that can be found on the MudWatt Explorer App.
This kit uses kids’ natural interest in technology while also encouraging them to get outside and use their minds, which is great!
4. Lumi Sunfold Printing Kit
The Lumi Sunfold Printing Kit is like tie-dye for the 21st Century, but even better. This is a great new way to print t-shirts and textile fabrics using Inkodye, a special dye that develops and binds when it encounters bright sunlight or UV rays.
Unlike other dyes used for fabrics and clothing, Inkodye is water based and doesn’t include any PVC, toxic solvents, iron, or silver.
Lumi also offers a Photo Printing Kit, which you can check out here.
5. Kano Computer Kit
The Kano Computer Kit is a trusted and award-winning tool for users age 6 and up that teaches kids how build a computer and learn code using simple steps and a storybook.
Many people are realizing that with our society’s reliance on technology, kids today need to learn the foundations of computer and coding skills to do well in life.
The Kano Computer Kit is a fun way for kids of all ages to learn to code art, music, apps, games, and more. The original Kano Kickstarter project raised over two million dollars!
6. Beam, the Smart Projector that Fits in Any Light Socket
Beam is a cool smart projector that lets you proudly display your digital content by plugging it into any light socket. Beam works with an app that can be controlled by smartphone or tablet, is beautifully designed, and is meant to blend in seamlessly with your interior.
Beam can be programmed to give you the news in the morning, play a message when your family members get home, or wake you up to a YouTube video.
I know a few people who would love to easily turn any surface into a big projector screen. Imagine the entertainment possibilities!
7. Modular Robotics MOSS Exofabulatronixx 5200 Model Kit
Although a little bit pricey, this modular robotics kit makes every kid’s dream of building and controlling a robot come to life!
It’s great to see how creators are using the freedom that Kickstarter brings to create products that stimulate kids.
Kits like the MOSS Exofabulatronixxx gives kids a love for learning and working with practical technology that can only benefit them in the future. Even some adults can’t put this thing down!
