what is this?
student self-starters don’t get enough time to work on their ideas.
we're a space for driven students in NYC to connect over their latest idea + to make progress!
the project you work on can be anything!
Ex. coding an app, recording podcasts, CADing, making beats, painting custom shoes
as long as its something you want to do and not your main "project" (that means no school work if you're a student, no job work if you're employed)
At the end, we'll have 2 minute demos for people to talk about what they worked on — completely optional, so no pressure!
great chance to keep each other updated on our progress :)
tldr
build
show ppl what you’re building
get feedback + iterate + meet mentors
"i don't think I'm creative enough to join."
Your starting point doesn't matter. The only pre-requisite is the curiosity to show up with an open mind.
To become creative, you need to create. Ship-It is the place to start, to be inspired, and regain your childlike imagination and drive for making things & sharing them with friends.
Anyone is welcome!
