TechLauncher connects industry, government, and community organisations with teams of skilled ANU Computing students to develop real solutions. As a client, you gain a dedicated team working on your project while helping shape the next generation of computing professionals — and you may discover fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to your challenges along the way.
Get involved
TechLauncher is seeking high quality host organisations to work with our students.
TechLauncher involves ANU Computing students working in teams of 4-7 in collaboration with host organisations from industry, government, community, or from within ANU.
Projects run over 2 consecutive semesters (March to October, or August to May), with students dedicating 8 hours per week to their project. Suitable projects are relevant to computing, provide some degree of complexity, and are not on the critical path of an organisation. The main purpose of TechLauncher is to provide a learning opportunity for our students and to provide an opportunity for students to engage with the broader community on meaningful and interesting projects.
TechLauncher partners are required to dedicate at least 1 hour per week to meet with and support their student team and to provide any resources and support that are reasonably required to complete the project, including tools and technical expertise.
