To empower students for success by providing hands-on experiences, fostering vital connections, and nurturing professional development.
Xtrapreneurs is a student organization designed for students who want to push beyond traditional education. Through real-world projects that require you to work with students from across campus, Xtrapreneurs provides the ultimate environment for innovation, problem-solving, and professional growth.
Leveraging a bounty board system, Xtrapreneurs offers exciting opportunities where you can collaborate with other passionate students, claim projects, and earn cash prizes. The bounty board is hosted through ConneXions, which is also the Xtrapreneurs digital community platform.
Here’s how it works:
Projects, or "bounties," are posted regularly. Each project comes with a set of requirements and a cash prize for the team that completes it.
Browse the bounties to find a project that aligns with your skills and interests. Once you find one, claim the bounty and start assembling your team.
Reach out to other Xtrapreneurs through the ConneXions platform to find teammates who can help you tackle the project. Whether it’s marketing, design, coding, or strategy, you can collaborate across disciplines.
Work together to meet the project requirements, solve the challenges, and submit your work. Once your team completes the project, you’ll receive a cash prize for your hard work and innovation.
In addition to cash prizes for completed bounties, Xtrapreneurs also receive the following:
