Greg Gage is the co-founder of Backyard Brains - https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Greg_Gage - and TED Fellow friend. Here is a conversation on how he developed his educational kits revenue model. Last year he was at $1M sales revenue and $750k from grants, and he's growing 20% per year. Discussing learnings for OSE's work on providing educational kits around the Open Source Microfactory. Good takeaway - we can bring meaningful R&D into schools.
