Our Team

Four student teams capitalize on Amherst’s strengths. We've structured teams to accelerate learning and experiences for members, exposing them to various industries and projects.

Engineering Team

Design, code, deploy

Whether it’s full-stack app development, system design, AI engineering, or simple API calls, it’s hard to have ideas that don’t need some type of engineering support these days. These engineers help design, code, and deploy ideas.
