Navigating the world of crowdfunding can be overwhelming, to put it lightly. Which projects are worth backing? Where’s the filter to weed out the hundreds of useless smart devices? To make the process less frustrating, we scour the various online crowdfunding platforms to put together a weekly roundup of our favorite campaigns for your viewing (and spending!) pleasure. Go ahead, free your disposable income:

The Siletz Modular Carry System is a carry-on sized waterproof backpack meant to withstand any type of traveling condition you can imagine. Bonus for campers: a nifty cooler insert is available.

Welcome to the future: xArm is a robotic arm that can be used by individuals and factories alike to boost productivity. The xArm promises a quick 10-minute set-up, and for an additional practical application, you can attach a camera to the arm to capture difficult process angles. 

Simone Giertz's Every Day Calendar stems from a simple (yet all too accurate statement): “Making commitments is easy. Keeping them is what is hard.” To motivate you to stick with a particular goal or New Year’s Resolution, the Every Day Calendar lights up when you tap the days you accomplished your goal. Remember gold stars from your Kindergarten years? Here’s your upgrade.

Laserlight Core projects the symbol of a bike onto the road so that pedestrians and cars can see the rider in what would have previously been their blind spot. Simple, but effective.

MAKERphone aims to eliminate the mystery behind what’s in our mobile phones. Code your way to your own personal mobile phone, adding classic games like Space Invaders, Pong and Snake along the way.
