Project Title: Brain Food: A Design for Good Product by AIGA Portland
Creator: AIGA Portland
Description: This project is the product of a collaboration between the Portland branch AIGA ("the professional association for design") and The Right Brain Initiative, which promotes "whole brain learning," i.e., integrating the arts into daily curriculum in Portland-area schools.
The group is attempting to get these 50-card decks with all sorts of ideas (build castles out of blankets) into 44 Portland-area schools. You, too, can get PDF or printed copies of the set plus some other cool schwag.
This episode features a conversation with kids music superstar Laurie Berkner about her Kickstarter project seeking funding to produce her next album, an album of lullabies. We talk about lullabies from her own childhood, the meaning of lullabies, and the opportunities for community in her project.

Laurie Berkner Is Making a Lullaby Album Kickstarter project
Project Title: Laura Doherty is recording a new kids' CD: "In a Heartbeat"!
Creator: Laura Doherty
Description: Hopefully I'll also get a chance to talk with the Chicago-based Doherty about her new Kickstarter to fund the recording, etc. of her next kids music album. Doherty crowdfunded her last album, the fine Shining Like a Star, via Indiegogo, but is turning to Kickstarter this time around. The rewards beyond the music include buttons and t-shirts.
Project Title: Laurie Berkner is making a Lullaby Album
Creator: Laurie Berkner
Description: I'm hopeful I'll be able to chat more with Berkner about the project, but for those of you glued to the Bake Sale site, I wanted to make sure I pointed out this brand new project from the kindie superstar which will fund the recording of her brand new album, an album of lullabies.
Berkner has funded all of her previous albums herself, so it's not like she absolutely needs Kickstarter for the finances -- rather, I suspect it's a way to make it easier upfront and to engage fans as part of the process. And, little more than 30 hours into her project, she's already cleared $10,000. For the Laurie Berkner fan in your life, there are a bunch of nice, reasonably-priced rewards.
