Microscape has launched a Kickstarter to produce 1:5000 scale models of America’s Windy City, Chicago.
Winners of the 'GIFT' (Green Innovation Future Technology) Ideas Competition in Hong Kong have been selected by a panel of judges representing Hong Kong Science Park (HKSTPC), local government, and private organizations.
