PhysicsHack 2015: Crowdfunding Hackathon for Physics/Astronomy/Space

PHYSICSHACK 2015

Need funds for your physics, space, and astronomy projects?

Fiat Physica, the premier crowdfunding platform solely dedicated to the success of physics, astronomy, and space exploration, is hosting a crowdfunding hackathon to help you raise funds for YOUR project.

Physics researchers, educators, and communicators, it's time to turn your ideas into reality.

Bring your project team out to New York City for a full day guided workshop where you will not only build a complete campaign but also learn how to promote it, and what makes a campaign successful. The Fiat Physica team - along with participating creatives, copywriters, marketers and more - will work with you, the innovators, scientists & engineers - to turn your build and launch YOUR campaign for fundraising success. Applications accepted through October 18th 11:30pm EST.

Not a scientist, but still want to support scientific advancement? We need you.

Not only scientists are interested in physics! If you're a physics enthusiast and want to help make the next wave of physics research and development a reality - this is your chance. Communicators, wordsmiths, marketers, and creatives, join scientists at PhysicsHack 2015 and help research teams craft compelling, creative crowdfunding campaigns. Science needs you, too!

Space is limited. Registration will close Oct 15th, after which accepted attendees will be notified by email, and a Wait List will be available in case spots open up. Register now!
