Design

The design of a project is the backbone to which all other pieces are dependent. Become inspired by tapping into your creativity, from sets by thousands of artists around the world to snappy interface tools, such as Iconscout, Icons8, Octicons, and Figma.

Brainstorm & Organize

Sometimes, getting another pair of eyes on a project can spark creativity. Ideate with others by bringing projects together while synchronizing collaboration efforts through shared tasks and checklists in FigJam.

Showcase

Get exposure for your project and discover other student repositories in need of collaborators and maintainers through GitHub Global Campus by visiting the GitHub Community Exchange.
