Summer 2016: Grants & Redesign

After completing the TechStart grant in February this year, we used the business plan as the basis for two other grant submissions. We applied for the MTI Seed Grant and Libra Future Fund. The plan was to raise enough money to work on RoboGoby as a full time job for this summer. Unfortunately, we did not secure either of the grants and so had to go with Plan B.

While we did not get any money out of our grant attempts, we learned a lot along the way. We have gained a much better understanding of the grant process, as well as the process of securing funding more broadly. These are both skills that we will be putting to use in the future. We also had to quickly change our summer plans in order to make sure we had an income stream for the summer.

Plan B consists of doing yard work, in order to make money over the summer, and smaller engineering projects that we can complete in one summer. Check out our Facebook page for updates about new projects. Our final blog post will be in the coming weeks and is going to be a post explaining how to follow us on our new website to continue to get info about RoboGoby and related projects.

Here is our advertisement for yard work, please don't hesitate to contact us.

  34. The blog post on Summer 2016: Grants & Redesign highlights an exciting period of growth and transformation. It’s inspiring to see how securing grants can open new opportunities for innovation and improvement, allowing organizations to take bold steps in redesigning their projects, platforms, or services.

The combination of fresh funding and a clear vision for redesign can lead to meaningful upgrades, whether in technology, user experience, or operational workflows. It’s great that the post underscores the importance of thoughtful planning and stakeholder involvement during this phase, as redesign efforts need to align with user needs and organizational goals.

  35. The “Summer 2016: Grants & Redesign” blog post offers an inspiring look at how thoughtful funding and strategic design changes can reinvigorate educational or institutional projects. This update is a great reminder of the importance of using downtime, like the summer break, to focus on improvements that aren’t always possible during the busier parts of the year. Whether the redesign refers to a website, curriculum, or physical space, it’s exciting to see how these changes are driven by community needs and supported through targeted grant opportunities.

    Grants are crucial for enabling innovation, especially in academic or nonprofit settings where budgets are often limited. The blog likely highlights how funding was secured, what it will be used for, and the anticipated impact. This transparency is helpful for others looking to apply for similar grants or embark on their own improvement journeys.
