14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier this year, towards the beginning of July, we talked about how science enthusiasts wanted to build a Tesla museum in Long Island, New York.
The museum, whose official name will be The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, is to be built on the exact same spot where Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla's laboratory sat.
As it turns out, the folks behind this project are having some trouble moving forward with their work. Long story short, they need money.
Rather than simply going around asking people to help them, they've come up with a crowdfunding campaign that's brilliantly wacky. Long story short, they are selling bricks.
The Tesla Science Center wants people interested in supporting this project to buy bricks, and then let them know what message they want to engrave on them.
The bricks bought by regular folks during this fundraising campaign are not virtual ones. On the contrary, they will actually go into the construction of the museum. How cool it that?
This campaign aims to raise $200,000 (€156,850) by November 8. The thing is that, although it was launched only a couple of day ago, it is already pretty darn close to reaching its goal.
One can only assume that this is because, despite being dead for over 7 decades, Nikola Tesla is still a pretty popular fellow.
Check out the infographic below to learn more about this fundraising campaign, and head over to Indiegogo if you feel like buying a brick.
