		Alumni from the undergraduate classes of 1997-2006 (MIT10 alumni) and their challenger Martin Tang SM '72 made possible a gift of $100,000 to support students at MIT. Part of that gift has been designated to this year's IDEAS competition to award excellence and encourage students to develop ideas.
