Praxis is a project-driven club at 1337 where students build big, real software projects — not tutorials, not small demos.
If you want:
- something serious on your resume
- experience working in real roles
- to understand how startups and tech teams actually work
This is for you.
Praxis is a startup-style incubator, run as a role-play.
- You propose a project
- You defend it like an investor pitch
- You build a real team
- You work with real workflows
- You ship real results
No fake titles. No “everyone does everything”. No abandoned repos.
Projects at Praxis are:
- multi-week or multi-month
- public or private
- designed to represent 1337
- strong enough to go on a resume
- sometimes strong enough to become startups
You’re not joining a tech stack. You’re joining a project.
Every project uses real startup positions:
- 🧠 Project Lead / CEO – vision & direction
- 📋 Product Manager – roadmap & priorities
- 🏗️ Tech Lead – architecture & code quality
- 💻 Developers – implementation
- 🎨 UI/UX – design & user experience
- 🔍 Reviewers / QA – testing & quality
Roles depend on what you actually contribute.
Before a project starts:
- The idea is presented
- It’s critiqued
- It’s challenged like a real investor meeting
The goal is not to reject ideas — the goal is to make them stronger.
This prepares you for:
- startup pitches
- technical interviews
- real-world pressure
- Anyone can contribute
- Good for learning & visibility
- Open collaboration
- Application required
- Resume + motivation
- Sometimes a short interview
- You earn your place like in real teams
- Create a profile
- Show what you can do
- Apply to a project
- Get reviewed by the team
- Join with a defined role
This mirrors:
- hiring
- team onboarding
- professional collaboration
- How large tech projects are organized
- How to work with Git properly
- Pull requests, reviews, and feedback
- Task planning and ownership
- Team communication
- Responsibility and commitment
This is the stuff recruiters actually care about.
- Build serious projects
- Give students real experience
- Create teams that work like startups
- Turn ideas into products
- Represent 1337 with quality work
Praxis is not about speed. It’s about depth.
Praxis is currently being built by students, for students. The platform itself is our first public project.
If you want to help build it — you already know where to start.
