We're a student-run team building free software for nonprofits in our community.
We believe good software shouldn't be out of reach for the organizations doing the most good. Every year, a student team builds it for free.
McMaster Blueprint is part of a multinational network founded in 2013 at UC Berkeley, and the fifth chapter in Canada. We build web and mobile apps for nonprofits in Hamilton and beyond.

A meet and greet with the VPs. We ran a short presentation on what Blueprint is, our plans and upcoming projects, and how to join. Everyone who came got access to an exclusive application form to fast-track the process.
We recruit new designers, engineers, and project leads at the start of every semester. No prior nonprofit experience needed.
Apply nowTell us what's slowing your organization down. If software is the right answer, we'll scope it with you at no cost.
Get in touchWe're a new chapter and don't have any sponsors yet. Funding would go toward hosting for the apps we hand over, design tools, and food for the meetings that keep a volunteer team going. If your company wants to be the first to back student engineers doing community work, we'd like to talk.
