Our vision
Launchpad is a student-led organization fostering the entrepreneurial mindset at WPI. We're creating a culture shift on campus and empowering students to pursue non-academic student projects.
Who we are
Students + Faculty + Alumni
Launchpad is a student-led group working directly with WPI alumni and faculty members to bring our vision to life on campus. Our diverse group of students is an new face for the WPI Innovation Fellows as well as an older initiative called the WPI Test Kitchen. 9 of our team members completed Epicenter's University Innovation Fellows training program through Stanford last year.
Non-Academic Projects
IQP / MQP is just the start.
Whether it be a revolutionary tech startup or a campus-improvement project, Launchpad wants to empower students to take their ideas to the next level, outside of the classroom.
Inspiring Events
Bringing learning beyond lectures.
We host challenges, discussions, conferences, pop-up courses, and pitch competitions to inspire students' creativity and create a culture where it is cool to be constantly learning and pursuing interests beyond your major.
