Why Short Circuit?
Who We Are
Short Circuit bridges the gap between the engineering education system and real-world engineering. We create hands-on, industry-inspired project kits that push students to design, debug, and iterate on real systems just like engineers do on the job. Our projects emphasize tradeoffs, system-level thinking, and open-ended problem solving, while producing portfolio-ready projects employers actually care about. Through guided projects, mentorship, and design challenges, Short Circuit connects students with the skills, confidence, and visibility needed to succeed in today's engineering landscape.
