Hosted by: MIT Sandbox

MIT Sandbox is open to all MIT undergraduate and graduate students and provides: seed funding ($1K to $25K); tailored education through courses, workshops, events; advising/mentoring from entrepreneurs, industry experts, investors; and access to resources, including the hobby shop, makerspaces, materials, and software.

$1K–$5K projects
Students are expected to commit to about six hours/week on their Sandbox project (think of it as six-credit course). In addition, the expectation is for teams to spend their seed money wisely on “items” that are critical for developing or validating the idea/project/product. For +$1K, funding will be conditional on agreed-upon milestones.

Details

Applications are now open for $1K–$5K projects. The next application round for over $5K will be in the fall.

Application deadline: Friday, May 5, 2017
