DUBvelopers
DUBvelopers is a web development and web design RSO at the University of Washington Seattle. We provide a technical foundation for students through our web development and design curriculum, in order to develop their skills and eventually work on projects for underserved communities and organizations throughout Seattle. DUBvelopers aims to make web development/design and websites accessible by providing access to beginner friendly workshops in web development coding and design and creating pro bono projects for the community.
DubsTech
We at DubsTech aim to help students grow their tech skills. We organize a variety of open-to-all workshops, competitions, talks, and more. We've had guest speakers from various tech companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, and more. We’re also known for holding UW’s first data science hackathon, the Datathon, and the only UX competition on campus, the Protothon! Here, participants test their rapid prototyping and design thinking skills in two industry inspired, time-sensitive design challenges, and help design for the future. Irrespective of your major, background, or skill level, everyone is welcome!
Girls Who Code College Loops - UW Chapter
We are a college campus organization where women (and those who identify as female) who have attended Girls Who Code Club/Immersion Programs and people with an interest in or passion for computer science and tech related fields can get together to learn, support each other, and have fun. Although being affiliated with Girls Who Code, we do not restrict membership based on gender, and everyone is welcome to join
Human Centered Design and Engineering Student Association
Our mission is to foster community within the department of Human Centered Design and Engineering by hosting events and activities that provide opportunities for socializing and professional networking.
HuskyADAPT
Our mission is to foster an inclusive, sustainable, and multidisciplinary community supporting accessible design and play technology. This includes adapting toys for users with diverse needs, designing solutions to accessibility challenges, and engaging with the community.

NeuroTechnology, Engineering & Computation
NeuroTEC’s mission is to raise awareness about the innovative neural engineering and computational neuroscience research being pursued at the University of Washington’s (UW) Center for Neurotechnology (CNT), NeuroHUB and Computational Neuroscience Center (CNC). We also coordinate with partner institutions outside the UW to bring in speakers, industry events, and research opportunities. This RSO is focused on engaging UW students in the fields of neurotechnology and computational neuroscience through outreach events, an invited-speaker seminar series, an annual Hackathon, graduate research presentations, and undergraduate mentorship. We have been previously operating under the NSF funding of the Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) and are excited to transition to a broader RSO status with new center student support from the NeuroHub and Computational Neuroscience Center (CNC).
