We are a multidisciplinary group of undergraduate and graduate students drawn together by a love for innovation - that is, creativity applied. It is our belief that with our diverse backgrounds we can cross-pollinate ideas to provide design solutions that will improve student lives in and around Berkeley.

Join us and innovate together. Write to us at contactus@innovation.berkeley.edu for more information and when our recruiting sessions are held.
