A community of builders, not an audience of students.

CBSOT is built around a simple idea — if you surround yourself with builders, you become one. Clubs that ship, hack nights that compete, demo days that matter.

The collectives

Clubs that do actual work.

Coding Club

Weekly DSA contests, interview prep circles, and a running leaderboard that students actually care about.

AI Club

Applied ML, LLM-powered tools, paper readings, and a rotating set of live AI side-projects.

Open Source Circle

Students contributing to OSS — first PRs, issue triages, and meaningful maintainer-reviewed merges.

Startup Cell

Founder talks, customer-discovery workshops, and a hack-to-product track with mentor support.

Product & Design

For engineers who want to ship good-looking things. UX critiques, design reviews, and product demos.

Student Ambassadors

Student leaders running orientation, events, the student newsletter, and campus feedback loops.

What happens on campus

Signature events we run every semester.

Hack Nights

Monthly overnight builds, real projects.

Demo Days

End-of-sprint showcases with external judges.

Founder Talks

Startup founders in conversation with students.

Tech Fest

Annual flagship festival across both campuses.

If you lead something, you belong here.

Apply to CBSOT — and if you’re already building something interesting, tell us in the application.
