Call for Course and Project Support


Course Support

Funding support in any amount to further the course's teaching mission is always welcomed. Monetary gifts support approved project expenses, administrative costs, honoraria for guest lecturers, and the end-of-term celebration.

Project Support

Support for student projects is needed. A monetary gift of $5000 per project supports approved project expenses, administrative costs, and honoraria for speakers. Contributions of lesser amounts will also be considered.

  • work with a team of bright Stanford students on a project that you have suggested

  • make progress on lower priority projects inexpensively
  • try a new way of looking at and solving problems
  • influence a future product design through the students' efforts
  • attend the final student project presentation
