What is ScottyLabs? ScottyLabs is Carnegie Mellon’s premier builder club. We are a group of engineers, designers, entrepreneurs and organizers, passionate about building useful software projects and hosting educational events for our community. Our projects and apps reach over 80% of CMU students, and TartanHacks even hosts 1000+ hackers and reaches builders from CMU and globally.
ScottyLabs’ engineering core, shipping flagship products across web, mobile, and embedded while owning the infrastructure that keeps them running. Our Tech members tackle everything from AI agents to developer platforms, and incubate new projects proposed by members or built through external partnerships.

Across our 6 sub teams you'll learn how to navigate university finances, negotiate with sponsors, and work with every single committee in ScottyLabs. We are proudly supported by our sponsors below!
