A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

Hello! My name is Aksel and I am a Boat Kid. I live on my boat with my parents and it’s a lot of fun. But sometimes I want to play with other kids and it's not always easy to find them.

So I invented a KidBoat Burgee. A KidBoat Burgee is a signal to other boats that a Kid is onboard and wants to play. It’s an old fashion way of getting kids together in the real world, to make new friends and have new adventures. Kids can hoist the KidBoat Burgee up when they are looking for other kids to play with.

I started out sketching ideas with my parents and came up with lots of fun ways so signal other kid boats. Then we started to draw it on the computer. Once we had a design set, we emailed it to printing shops to find out how much it would cost to print them and send them to every Kid Boat in the world. Turns out it's really expensive.

So we need your help!

My parents are helping me with a Kickstarter Project so that we can make at least 100 of the burgees and get them out on Kid Boats so kids can start finding each other easier. If you are a Kid Boat or you know a Kid Boat that wants to play, click on the green button and pre-order a KidBoat Burgee now.

The final product will be a 12"x18", single sided, screen printed burgee for all Kids to fly when it comes time to have an adventure.

Once we have reached our goal we will place our order with one of the printing companies we received prices from. We will make the selection based on the quality of burgee construction, ability to complete the order in a short amount of time and on the cost. We should have the burgees ready to ship within 3-4 weeks of the kickstarter completion.
