Building Shit University

About

Building Shit University is a university dedicated to encouraging students to build shit. We believe that kids in this generation don't enjoy learning from adults' opinions and suggestions.

As the most radical institution on the planet, we've chosen not to hire any teachers on campus. Instead, we provide a wealth of learning resources designed to help you learn—especially to help you build shit by yourself.

Why Choose Us?

No teachers, seriously

Forget about boring lectures. Here, there are no teachers telling you what to do or how to think. Instead, you'll have the freedom to explore and create on your own terms.

Learning resources from diverse open-source communities

We've curated the best open-source tools, guides, and tutorials to empower you (like g0v). Everything you need to start building is at your fingertips.
