Cubstart is a web/mobile development course for beginner to intermediate developers. Whether you need project experiences to kickstart your resume, or if you have a desire to build but don’t know where to start, Cubstart is the course for you.
Cubstart is a student-run course as part of the DeCal Program at University of California, Berkeley. We're run by members of Cal Hacks, the world's largest collegiate hackathon. We've been running since Fall 2020, with the aim of supporting underrepresented minorities and beginner to intermediate developers in their journeys in STEM. We have 2 tracks, iOS development and Web development, so students can choose the platform they prefer.
Throughout the semester, we provide mentorship and resources for students to learn how to build an app from start to finish: ideation, team-building, programming, pitching, and more. Our students hone these skills in a month-long final project, where they work in teams to develop an app! We end off with Demo Day, a mini-hackathon for students to show off their creations.

Here are a few of many outstanding projects developed by Cubstart alumni!
PLTNM is a music game that you can play with friends: you'll hear a song and have to guess which one of them has it in his playlist. The app allows you to choose and upload your best songs playlist from your preferred music service. It then builds a selection of songs from you and your friends, especially those you have in common!
