Build With Us
Real projects. Real mentorship. Real impact.
We collaborate with schools and universities to give students access to live, production-grade coding and engineering projects—across AI, energy, and systems design—guided by practicing engineers.
How it works
Step 1
Discover & Apply
Browse open projects across AI, energy, and systems. Submit a brief application explaining your interest and relevant skills. Faculty can also partner with us to integrate projects into coursework for academic credit.
Step 2
Onboard & Equip
Get access to production repos, development environments, real-world datasets, and mentor support. For hardware projects, we'll book lab time and provide equipment training to ensure you have everything needed to succeed.
Step 3
Build & Learn
Work on real features with weekly mentor sessions, code reviews, and technical guidance. You'll follow industry standards—writing tests, documentation, and working in production-grade workflows—while receiving continuous feedback from practicing engineers.
Step 4
Ship & Showcase
Complete your module with a demo, performance report, and deployment to production or public release. Successful contributors receive recommendations, portfolio pieces, and fast-track consideration for paid roles at Enkisonics.
