A technical community,
not a content factory.

Cloud Club is a student-run technical community. We organize hackathons, CTFs, coding contests, workshops and tech talks — across cloud, web, AI, security and everything in between.

No spectators. Everyone ships.

social impressions
Cloud Club is the only place on campus where you can pitch a stupid idea on Friday and have it deployed by Sunday. It changed how I think about engineering.

I joined knowing zero about cloud. Six months later I'm interning on an SRE team. The mentorship here is unmatched.

Less talking, more shipping. That's the culture. Every workshop ends with something running, not just slides.

Stop watching tutorials.
Start building.

Open to all majors, all skill levels. The only requirement: you're willing to write code, ask questions, and ship something this semester.
