Research Fellows in our school’s media lab apply to write books, create websites and YouTube channels, lead after-school clubs, and become STEM Superheroes.  Each fellow learns a little bit about creating print-on-demand products and merchandising them through the powerful medium of the internet.  

You can help!  Scroll through the pages and order something beautiful. Profits will go toward the charities that benefit from our projects or to our school.

  • adopt an entrepreneur’s mindset

    • a tee-shirt, mousepad, coffee mug Zazzle products,
    • books published through Lulu,
    • 3-D printable logos and characters through Shapeways,
    • mobile apps made with MIT App Inventor
