That could be a good one for an indiegogo campaign!
Then the list of supporters/buyers of FOSS development
can be hit up again for new features, or new software apps.
And go and get a foreign/UK account to use kickstarter.com!

Yes, that is maybe obvious to an experienced scientist, yet needs spelling out for young students and
other crowdfunding backers...

I have a question for you, "What does BB in IndieBB stand for?" Bio-Brick?

BB has connotations here in the US of being ammunition for air rifles.

Also, for promoting to groups like home schoolers, even the word fragment "Indie" may be off-putting.
Customers in education may just want an authority figure and certifications and photos
of serious looking guys and gals in white lab coats with goggles on. Plus those buyers
definitely need the long list of: "What does that do for me?" spelled out.
