1. Google Summer of Code. We're excited to welcome three students who will be working with Public Lab mentors through Google Summer of Code. Projects will begin this month and go through the end of the summer. Check out the projects they will be working on here. You can also join in on the conversation as the summer progresses by joining the Public Lab GSoC mailing list.

2. Infragram update. Thanks to the 1000+ people who have helped Public Lab raise $48,000 so far via Kickstarter! On Friday we announced a new reward level-- the Flight Kit, which includes an Infragram Point & Shoot plus a balloon mapping kit to lift it up to 1000 feet in the air.
