    Do I understand the goal correctly as three-fold, creating the following for EduKit: 1. vector for insertion 2. yeast strain that is compatible with #1. 3. instruction manual Do you tier your backers? For e.g. a donor above 1k USD gets priority to access all 3; a 100 USD donor gets #3 (instruction manual).

    Hello OpenPETase, this crowdfunding platform is rather different from ones like KickStarter in that there are no tiers or levels in which supporters receive something tangible for their support depending on the level of funds they support. Supporters of Experiment projects champion these projects because they want to see the science come to fruition. Having said that our project is about making an EduKit which we hope to distribute in some fashion to community labs and beyond. How that distribution takes place is not a part of this project goals. We have ideas about distribution but the exact route will come into better focus as we near the end run of the goals outlined here. Please do consider supporting our project.

    This EduKit could be extremely useful in our DIYBIO in Toronto. I am looking forward to seeing it to fruition!
