<About Us />

The community for designers and engineers at Yale.

As the place for CS at Yale, we're a team of computer science enthusiasts looking to revolutionize the campus and make students' lives easier through the use of technology. As a cohort of product designers, software engineers, and computing ambassadors, we develop high-quality, open-source products, host speaker events with technologists and industry professionals, and break barriers for students to gain real-world software engineering experience.
