At AppGarage, DTU students can give free rein to their creativity.
It is all about inventing, designing, implementing and commercialising the apps of the future.
Hackerspace
AppGarage is what is known as a ‘hackerspace’, where students interested in developing and commercialising apps are given free rein to work on precisely the projects they consider most interesting.
DTU Compute has built up a solid platform inspired by similar hackerspaces in Silicon Valley, with events centred on everything from business modelling to new programming technologies, and where students can receive support for their projects and personal development via a mentor network comprising entrepreneurs, investors and business managers.
Student 'tribes'
In addition, AppGarage helps gather like-minded students together in ‘tribes’ to facilitate student-to-student learning. In this context, there are a gamer tribe, an iOS tribe, an Android tribe and so on.
And yes, AppGarage is run by the students themselves. Naturally!
