Squadgear

Many types of outdoor / mobile situations (protests, flash raves, community events, build / work jams, seminars, trash mobs, etc.) have a common set of organizer and participant needs and ‘nice to haves’: sound, power, light, group crowd visibility, first aid, emergency water, etc. SquadGear is a low cost, durable, flexible, lightweight, scalable, redundant, networked platform to cover these core needs and a solution to customize convenient ways to bring anything else that might make all the difference.SquadGear consists of two main elements: The SituationStick and the WhereBase.
This micro-grant grant is providing the seed funding to R&D and prototype these two pieces of equipment, so that we can create a durable, toolkit-able resource for organizers everywhere.
