This week, we review the following projects: The Travel Line (Versatile Travel Backpack + Packing Tools), Nunami, Evolution of the Alphabet Chart, Haagea, Hop Culture Farms and Brew Co., SOUL Solar Scroll (The Ultimate Solar Charger), Realistic Moving Jellyfish Lamp (Motion Lights), and HYDAWAY (A Pocket-Sized Water Bottle Fit for any Adventure).
