What We Do
We guide curious students who want to make a positive difference in the world how to build a startup from the ground up. Along the way, we will teach you the professional skills necessary for a bright future. You’ll receive valuable insights, mentorship, support, as well as network and meet new friends.
We offer incredible student-focused design and innovation programs, leadership opportunities, entrepreneurial workshops, as well as dedicated start-up incubator spaces. We even host our very own in-house prototyping lab, complete with 3D printers, shop tools, and more, all accessible during our open access hours.
