Our Projects

At BuildUp, our Innovator Projects are personalized, one-on-one experiences designed to align with each student’s unique interests. Unlike our collaborative Squad program, these solo projects are built through carefully matched company partnerships, giving students deep exposure to real-world challenges in their chosen field.
