In the US, National Inventors Month is in May. Though we respect that, Indiegogo is a global crowdfunding platform, so we decided that there was no better time to celebrate some of the things being invented by our campaigners than in October. Below are campaigns currently funding, including everything from an iPhone case and helmet crash sensor to a synthesizer and a hydroponics system:

Finally, an iPhone case with literally everything but the kitchen sink. A built-in USB memory stick and add-on lenses are just the beginning.
