About CodeBox
We're a student-run software engineering club at Cal Poly dedicated to turning ideas into real products.
Builders. Dreamers. Doers.
CodeBox is more than just a club - it's a community. We bring together students of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced developers, to collaborate on exciting projects. Whether it's web applications, mobile apps, AI tools, or something completely new, we turn ideas into reality while learning industry best practices.
Each year, our members work in teams to design, develop, and deploy projects that solve real problems. You'll gain hands-on experience with modern tech stacks, collaborate with talented peers, and build a portfolio that stands out.
