our pillars
Ideate
What sparks your interest? What is your passion? We would love to see and hear what you have to share with the world. We welcome the wildest ideas and will facilitate as you explore & learn what makes you curious.
Create
We value creators who learn by translating their thoughts into ideas and their ideas into action. We are for those with the grit to execute and challenge themselves to create something new.
Elevate
Community is an incredibly important aspect of being a creator — Shift is a family. We believe in creators elevating one another to new heights by inspiring those around them, providing genuine feedback, and extending real friendships.
our program
sandbox
Three nights a week, we gather for focused work time on individual projects, then share what we've been building. We want to be your creative sanctuary where you can actually get stuff done, with built-in accountability from people who understand the struggle.
workshops
Some of the best learning happens when your friends teach you something they're passionate about. Our community members regularly share skills they've picked up, from technical deep-dives to creative processes that changed how they work.
resources
Your ideas shouldn't die because of budget constraints. We provide project grants to fund your ideas, hardware and art supplies when you need them, exhibition spaces to show off what you've built, and connections with entrepreneurs and VCs when you're ready to take things further.
The House
Our physical space comes stocked with tools, art supplies, snacks, and good vibes. Use it as your primary workspace, crash between classes, or just hang out when you need a change of scenery. Great ideas happen when you have a place that actually feels like home.
