This past fall the Student Outreach Mentorship Program (STOMP) ran a crowdfunding campaign to help support the work it does in local elementary and middle schools. Our goal was to raise $5000 to support lesson development and implementation, and materials purchases. We raised $5,170 from 75 donors. These donors were friends, family, teachers, and alumni of STOMP. This money helps sustain a program that means so much to Tufts students and the local community, and helps us fuel the the next generation’s ingenuity! To see some of these donations in action, check out some of the exciting projects from this semester!

One STOMP group incorporated the disaster in Puerto Rico into their curriculum. Each week, students designed and built something that would help the people in Puerto Rico. This photo shows a circuit that students built to help provide light/electricity to the population that lost power!
