Mission

Tech@NYU is growing the technology culture.

Method

To get there, we need students continually building, to learn and internalize the nuances of great product and business. Tech@NYU is the sandbox that students need: a place to experiment, a forum for recognition, a community for discussion and sharing, and a stage for inspiration.

Events are held throughout the academic year, open to all students, with a focus on consistency as to build community:

  • Every week, we host HackDays, Learn to Code, and, in collaboration with Parsons The New School of Design, DesignDays.
  • Every month, we hold DemoDays. Projects students have worked on, either at HackDays, DesignDays, or in their dormrooms get two to five minutes each to show the rest of the student population what they’ve produced. This is a celebration of sorts, a celebration of creation.
  • Every semester, we host Startup Week, a weeklong event dedicated to the innovation occurring NYC and exposing students to startup culture.

We also engage regularly with a number of NYC entrepreneurs who serve as mentors to students. Only a couple years old, Tech@NYU is one of the most diverse, most forward-moving student organizations in NYC.

History

Tech@NYU was created in Fall 2009 to connect technical and non-technical NYU students interested in building technology startups. Incubated with the help of the NYU Stern Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Tech@NYU held its first event in October 2009 to help students form teams for the Stern Business Plan Competition.

Now, our events are routinely attended by over 2,000 members of the NYU undergrad and graduate community as well as technologists residing in New York City. We are an officially-recognized NYU All-Square club.
