Hard Tech Campus is an organization focused on the development of sustainability projects into products. Most importantly, we are focused on projects that utilize technological advancements in either hardware or software to achieve one of the following target areas, with respect to the given UN Sustainability Goals(https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/) are:

-Industrial change (Goals 12 and 9)
-Health, hunger, clean water, sanitation (Goals 2, 3, and 6)
-Products for consumers (Goals 7 and 11)
-Environmental clean-up (Goals 14 and 15)

Last year, we ran a 10 week summer program where we focused on helping engineering teams build startup companies, which you can read more about here (https://www.hardtechfund.com/htc.html). However, we realized that this was too rigid of a form and forced more people into entrepreneurship that did not want to go that direction.

This year, we are running monthly sprints to help teams:

-Find team members
-Gain mentorship from students who have built engineering projects and/or are EME50 certified and can use shop equipments
-Keep teams on track
-Present teams with opportunities to pitch in front of seed investors, government organizations,  potential business clients, and other potential customers

Our first monthly sprint starts Nov 2nd, 2020 and goes until Dec 2nd, 2020. However, you can apply at any time, and the sprints start the day you are accepted into the program.

Here is a rough schedule of meetings:
1. Weekly team meetings with mentors who have expertise in the area you want to work in
2. Bi-weekly meeting with some of the members of the Sustainability Club Coalition, engineering club leads, and Hard Tech Campus mentors to demonstrate progress
3. End of monthly sprint meeting with potential clients and customers

Do you think we can help you? If so, fill out the form below! Applications are due 11/01 at 10 PM Pacific if you want to take part in the first sprint, but can be submitted at anytime.
