Build something a business owner can use.
Spend a semester working with a San Diego business. Map a process, build a system, and hand it over. Show hiring managers what you built.
Why join.
You don’t need an engineering background to join. You’ll learn to work with a business owner, build a system, and hand it over for them to use. You’ll finish with a portfolio project and a LinkedIn recommendation from the business you worked with.
The Fall 2026 pilot has ten teams of two or three students. Each team works in person with a local business.
How the semester works.
-
Map the process
The team meets with the owner to understand the business process.
-
Build one solution
The team builds one system around the business’s specific needs.
-
Deploy
A mentor reviews the system. The owner decides whether to use it.
