ScottyLabs

ScottyLabs is a student-run, interdisciplinary organization at Carnegie Mellon University dedicated to removing barriers between students' ideas and their implementation. We connect students with the skills and tools they need to create things and foster an atmosphere of curiosity-driven innovation on campus. For example, we are developing APIs for educational data at Carnegie Mellon, so that students can easily build applications using that data. In addition, we are working with schools across the country to create a nationwide standard for APIs for university data. In early 2012, we also founded and organized Carnegie Mellon's largest hackathon, TartanHacks.
