making@stanford Sparks Student Making in Academic Year 2023-2024
Throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, making@stanford has significantly fostered hands-on student making, highlighted by the Autumn and Spring funding rounds. The Autumn 2023 funding round launched a host of pioneering projects, setting the stage for a year of creative exploration. The momentum continued with the Spring 2024 funding round, which supported a diverse range of initiatives.
Stanford Communications made a video feature introducing making@stanford to Stanford and the general public on social media.
