For students at Albert School Milano
Learn to build the thing, not to talk about it.
No syllabus, no attendance sheet, nothing weekly. We run hackathons, workshops and talks, and the members who ship something take on the paid client work.
- 01
Come to one thing
A workshop, a talk, or a hackathon. You sign up on the events page, you turn up, and that is the whole entry process. No application, no interview, no account.
- 02
Build something you can show
Everything we run ends with a thing that works and a URL with your name on it. That is the point of the format: nobody leaves with notes.
- 03
Help run the next one
Members write the briefs, set up the room, and answer questions during a hackathon. This is where you actually learn, and it is how we know who to trust.
- 04
Take on paid client work
Members who have shipped something real take the client engagements. Selection is on work delivered, never on how long you have been around.
The door is the next event
Workshop: From an idea to a live URL.
Three hours, from an empty folder to a page anyone in the world can open. We do it together, on your machine, and you leave with it working.
What to bring
- A laptop
- Any machine that runs a browser and a terminal. macOS, Windows or Linux.
- An AI subscription
- You already need one at school. Everyone works on their own account; we never share keys.
- No code experience
- None is assumed. Most members come from business and data tracks, which is the point.
- A few hours, not a term
- There is no weekly commitment. You come to what is useful to you.
Being honest about it
This is work, not a club.
A hackathon is a weekend, and nobody will chase you to finish. People who treat the association as somewhere to have something finished with their name on it get a lot out of it. People who treat it as a line on a CV drift away by November.
The client work is the same bargain. It is paid, it is real, and it is held to a client deadline rather than a school one.
