blink blink started as an academic thesis collaboration with Joselyn McDonald with support from the New Challenge Grant. Following our studies, I went on to develop blink blink as a business with Alex Tosti- expanding our product line from 1 to 6 kits, building out our ecommerce site, selling in 7 specialty retail stores, and creating partnerships with NASA Space Apps Challenge, Girl Scouts, Kickstarter, and more.
Tutorials
Each of our kits come with printed tutorials, and a number of video tutorials are hosted on blink blink's DIY and Getting Started pages. We have prototyped various designs including GIF based tutorials, print, and video.
