This page features training videos, successful student Kickstarter pitches, and more from the Kick it Up crowdfunding training and acceleration program at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. The program is hosted by Dan Pacheco, the Chair of Journalism Innovation.

Over 115 people signed up to attend online, with another 20 in the room. The webinar was broadcast into YouTube live using Google Hangouts On Air. You can watch it here:
