Stewart: Requirements are a 2000-word description of project goal. Deal is that you set a budget and people contribute to that budget on kickstarter
Kickstarter writes:
A series of creative and engaging backer rewards is essential. Your rewards should reflect the
personality of both you and your project -- and they should offer something tangible to your supporters.
Having a few reasonably priced rewards will help incorporate everybody who is interested in what you are
doing, even those only able to contribute $1-$10. Every buck counts! ... Rewards are all about creatively
incorporating your backers into the experience of what you are doing.
Take a look at popular projects for inspiration!

Stewart:
It isn't too clear from the project entry page, but the rewards are merchandise tiered with
$10, $20, $50, $75, $100, $250, $500... pledge levels.
So, our rewards would be Makerspace-made projects or kits -- "free" with a certain-level donation.
The description is more on the order of 2000 characters, not words.

Popular Electronics -> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/PopularElectronics/Popular_Electronics.htm">http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/PopularElectronics/Popular_Electronics.htm</a>
<blockquote type="cite"> In November 1982 the magazine became Computers & Electronics and that title stopped publication in April 1985. Many of the editors and authors moved to a new magazine, Modern Electronics.
The title Popular Electronics was sold to Gernsback Publications and their Hands-on Electronics magazine was renamed to Popular Electronics in February 1989. This version was published until it was merged with Electronics Now to become Poptronics in January 2000. In late 2002 Gernsback Publications went out of business and the January 2003 Poptronics was the last issue.</blockquote>Item for the "Need" list -- we now have pens; We now need pads of scratch paper.
