Our Alumni

Our summer programs have been the birthplace of companies like:

spring builds

Can't wait until the summer? We can't either! That's why we partnered with passionate builders to help you make cool things already! Together with these partners we are bringing you a set of programs before the summer focusing fully on your amazing projects — but not necessarily companies.

Online Program

No matter your interest or what your project is - start a ventriloquist band, build a spaceship, make an app... Our partners' online builder platform will give you some support and motivation to it all - for free of course. Sounds good?
Check it out!

More coming soon!

Stay tuned!

Participation in the spring programs is not a pre-requisite for the summer, you can choose to apply for any or all of our programs.
