Build real projects, gain real experience
Collaborate with fellow learners to create open-source projects that solve real problems and build your portfolio.
What is Open Projects?
A collaborative learning initiative where students build production-ready applications
Open Projects is our initiative that bridges the gap between learning and real-world development. Students work in teams to build open-source projects, gaining hands-on experience with modern development workflows, collaboration tools, and industry best practices.
Unlike traditional coursework, these are real projects that get deployed, used by actual users, and contribute to the global open-source ecosystem. You'll learn by doing, make mistakes in a safe environment, and build a portfolio that showcases your abilities to potential employers.
