Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment!  Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others.  The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal.  Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Two years ago, I launched my side project, Computer Engineering for Babies on Kickstarter. CE for Babies introduces some basic logic gates (NOT, AND, OR, XOR, etc) using two arcade style buttons and an LED. The book has been largely well received, however I do get the occasional email:

“My babies have learned nothing from this book, and are refusing to give me an estimate for when my custom Bitcoin ASIC will be completed.”

To help bridge this gap, it’s now time to launch the sequel!

Computer Engineering for Big Babies

CE for Big Babies is the next step for continuing your education, and putting you and your kids in the good graces of the General Intelligence AI that is sure to take the world. The book picks up where the original CE for Babies left off. And, like the first book, it’s way too short with six pages.

Improvements from the original

The first edition Computer Engineering for Babies book got a lot of great feedback and suggestions. The original position of the light sensors wasn’t ideal, it didn’t work well in low light environments, the battery was too difficult to remove, etc. All of these issues have been addressed for CE for Big Babies.

• The book has a plastic battery cover with screw (as opposed to a sticker flap & screw).
• Improved binding that doesn’t get banged up as fast.
• Photo sensors have been moved to the top of the page.
• Some short descriptions have been included on each page.

As of September 13th, this project has raised $336,000 of their $20,600 goal. This project has 15 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $32, you will get one book.  For a pledge of $45, you will get one signed book.  To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/babyengineering/computer-engineering-for-big-babies
