Build Purdue is a student-led community helping Boilermakers turn ideas into real products—through visibility, honest feedback, and hands-on experiences. Let’s build it together.
We run a simple monthly cadence—kickoff, build sprints, demo day—so ideas don’t stall. Members get mentorship, peer reviews, and access to events with engineers, designers, and founders.
Whether you’re shipping your first app or polishing a portfolio piece, you’ll find teammates, feedback, and momentum here.
Our focus is products that live in the world: web, mobile, AI, hardware, and anything you can demo. Bring a project, or join one that’s already rolling.
We bias toward public work—write-ups, talks, and open repos—so your learning benefits the next builder.

Our values
The habits that make good builders great—and great builders fast.
- Build in public.
- We make work visible early and often—demos over decks, prototypes over promises.
- Bias to action.
- Small, fast iterations beat big, slow plans. Ship something every month.
- Support the builder.
- Tight feedback loops, thoughtful code reviews, and a culture of pairing.
- Learn by doing.
- Workshops are hands-on, projects are real, and outcomes are shipped.
- Share what you know.
- Talks, write-ups, open repos—knowledge compounds when it’s public.
- Enjoy the grind.
- We keep the vibes high—good people, good snacks, great builds.
Our team
Student leaders and mentors who keep the cadence moving and the quality high.
