Why the Campus Community?

The world is changing faster now than during any period of time in human history. The job market is rapidly changing, and the tools for learning are also evolving. To survive these massive waves of change, we must adapt. In the process, we also need to ensure that no one gets left behind as the world goes digital. The Campus Community is in place to ensure that the young generation gets access to the tools required to participate in and contribute to 21st-century technology advancements.

For the last decade, we have been thinking about what will help us achieve this goal. We found that to be flag bearers of such a change, our students need to innovate, learn continuously, solve problems, and collaborate massively. We have built programs, projects, and resources that revolve around these core areas.

Why focus on tinkering?

Making/Tinkering is more than just a career skill. It is a language of creativity and problem-solving. It is a fundamental skill in the digital age we live in. At TinkerHub, we show students their unlimited creative potential and help them leverage their tinkering skills for problem-solving.

Why is the Campus Community for schools as well?

Kids are constantly curious about the things around them. The best time to introduce kids to tools and techniques is at school when they have the right amount of curiosity and leisure time to satiate their hunger for knowledge. We do not limit their understanding to one programming language or a single technology.

The best developers around us, even our friends at Google and Facebook, had a passion for technology right from their school days. While college is also an important time to create new passions, starting early is always beneficial.

What are the activities of the Campus Community?

Anything that helps students achieve new skills. We provide a tentative yearly plan to every community so that they can focus on the right things. However, this plan can (and should) be challenged by the members of the community to make it better and more suitable for them. We stick to our values when selecting topics and projects.

Activities may include workshops, bootcamps, weekly or bi-weekly meet-ups, hosting conferences, and more. From Augmented Reality workshops to creating LinkedIn profiles, all activities are designed to be educational and fun. We also help students compete in international technical contests, hackathons, and challenges.
