For classrooms and educators
Run a real election in your classroom.
Every student gets a real campaign website to build, brand, and defend, and you watch the entire class from a single teacher dashboard. Most teachers have it running inside one prep period. Signing up is free and there is no payment information to enter.
- Free to sign up
- Every feature unlocked
- Private until you publish
- One class or a whole grade
The problem
Mock elections teach beautifully. Running one is a nightmare.
Poster board, a shared slide deck, thirty speeches in your inbox, and a paper ballot you count over lunch. The lesson works. It is the logistics that make you think twice about doing it again next year.
Thirty students, thirty unfinished projects.
Poster board, a shared slide deck, and campaign speeches arriving in your inbox all week long.
With Stump
Thirty campaign sites, one dashboard.
See at a glance who has published, who has started, and who needs a nudge before Friday.
Nowhere safe to put student work.
Consumer site builders were not designed for a classroom, and your IT department already knows it.
With Stump
Private by default, walled off per student.
No student can see or edit another one, and nothing becomes public until you decide it does.
A week of setup for a two-week unit.
By the time the tools are configured, half the lesson has already gone by.
With Stump
Roster to running race in one period.
Nothing to install, nothing to get approved, and you can reuse the whole setup next semester.
What students learn
A civics unit students actually finish.
Instead of reading about a campaign, they run one. They write a platform, build a site, recruit volunteers, answer a real endorsement questionnaire, and then stand for a vote in front of the people they wrote it for.
Writing and persuasion
A platform in their own words, written for classmates who are going to read it and then vote.
Digital citizenship
What it means to publish something with your name on it, with you approving every release.
Civic literacy
Endorsements, questionnaires, filing deadlines, and turnout, handled the way real campaigns handle them.
Speaking and debate
A published record to point at, and to defend out loud when somebody challenges it.
It drops cleanly into a mock election, a student government race, a debate unit, or a Model UN and We the People elective.
Built for the classroom
Everything the class needs. One login for you.
One teacher dashboard
Every student campaign in a single view, so you can tell who has published and who is still staring at a blank page.
A site for every student
Students own their headline, colors, bio, and positions, and they edit all of it themselves while it stays private.
The whole civics toolkit
Volunteer forms, an endorsement answer bank, key dates, and analytics come with every seat at no extra cost.
Safe by default
Sites are isolated from one another and nothing reaches the public web until you personally publish it.
Reusable every term
Your dashboard carries over, so setting up the race for your next class takes minutes instead of another prep period.
Student work stays yours
Nothing students create is sold, shared, or used to train anything. It belongs to your classroom.

Questions
Educator FAQ
What does it cost?
Signing up costs nothing and there is no card to enter. Classroom pricing depends on the number of seats you need and the type of institution you are, so we work it out with you directly once you are set up.
How long does setup take?
Most teachers create a classroom and invite students inside a single prep period. There is nothing to install and nothing your IT department needs to approve first.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. If you can fill out a form, you can run a Stump classroom. Students manage their own sites, and the built-in AI helps them draft when they get stuck.
Do students need their own email accounts?
Each student signs in to their own site. Tell us about your class and we will help you choose the simplest arrangement for your students and your school.
What can students see?
Only their own campaign. You see everything from the teacher dashboard, and no student site is public until you publish it.
Can I reuse it next semester?
Yes. Your teacher dashboard carries over and you can start a fresh race for your next class in a few minutes.
Is student data private?
Every site is isolated per student, everything stays private until you publish, and you control the entire classroom from one login. Nothing students create is sold or shared.
Is this political?
No. Candidates of every party and none use Stump, and the classroom version is a civics tool where students run school or fictional campaigns. Nothing on the platform endorses a party or a candidate.
