How it all began?

The whole idea of the ‘T-shirt Competition’ came from a Wednesday afternoon AMA session. A handful of students wanted to get their hands on some awesome Udacity swag . We are a group of students dispersed throughout the EMEA region, so we wanted to figure out a way to unite and support our group with pride.

Together with the help of some fellow students: @Tho Vo, @Asher and @John626, and the amazing Community Managers, the idea came to life!

The Competition

We made an open call for all students to send us their designs to be printed on swag. We then held a vote to chose the top five most loved images to turn into swag. We found a website that could produce our designs and send them anywhere in the world. Also, we wanted to make sure the profits went to a good cause. We chose the charity weCare Africa because it's a foundation that works to eradicate poverty through educational resources in rural sub-Saharan Africa. We are all scholarship students ourselves, and therefore understand how important it is to give to education.

The Impact

So far we have sold a huge 310 units, and donated $256! It's been amazing to watch the figures grow, knowing the students of this scholarship are giving back to those who needed it most! Thank you to everyone who has purchased an item. Make sure you head over to the shop and get some swag now!
