Hi, my name is Shoshana and I am a sophomore bioengineering major at UMD. I
am also the Tikkun Olam Makers (TOM) Fellow for UMD. TOM empowers local
communities of Makers, anyone with a passion for problem-solving and social
impact, to apply innovation and technology to solve overlooked challenges
faced by Need-Knowers, individuals with a personal understanding of a
neglected challenge. TOM is creating impact locally and globally by bringing
together like-minded people around a shared vision of a more inclusive world.

Specifically, TOM identifies neglected challenges that compromise the
well-being of people but do not have an affordable market or government
solution usually because they are rare, require a lot of customization, or
affect disempowered populations. As of now, TOM operates 70 local communities
in 22 countries and five continents. Thus far, these communities have
developed over 550 open-source solutions that have the potential of improving
the lives of millions of people.

I am working to start TOM: UMD and begin to make an impact on our campus and
beyond.

This is where you come in!

We at TOM: UMD are looking to expand our community and add new members who
are motivated and excited to collaborate with each other in order to innovate
and create solutions to support individuals within UMD and in the greater
College Park community. Here are different ways in which you can contribute:
Be a maker. Join one of our teams and help design and prototype solutions
that will help people in our communities! No prior engineering or design
experience is required.
Join our leadership team. There are many leadership and board positions
available for the Spring 2022 semester! Nearly all of our positions will be
up for re-election, and we are looking for motivated people to help establish
TOM as a club on campus and start planning events for the spring! Some
positions that are available:
Treasurer
Events Manager
Fundraising Manager
Outreach/Recruitment Manager
Social Media Manager
