Build Projects: Apply Today!

Maham Abrar, a junior studying computer science, has participated in two Build Projects. She shares, “I had the opportunity to work on two distinct and impactful projects through Open Avenues, guided by outstanding industry mentors. The Build Projects challenged me, expanded my technical skills, and gave me access to mentorship that’s hard to find elsewhere.”

Hosted by Open Avenues, Build Projects connect students with fast-growing U.S. companies through part-time, project-based consulting roles. Each cohort is led by experienced Build Fellows—professionals working in your field of interest—who mentor student teams throughout the project.

You’ll join a small team of students from across the U.S. and collaborate on a challenge from a real company. By the end, you’ll walk away with a tangible deliverable to add to your resume, LinkedIn, or portfolio.
