Welcome to OpenSUTD!
“Ultimately, you can make it (SUTD) about the reason you came here in the first place. I mean that’s really all you can do, right? You just have to say to yourselves: I came here for this, and I’m gonna make it this thing, and no matter how many obstacles they put in my way, I’m just gonna keep trying to make it this thing.” ~ Tara
The OpenSUTD movement was formed with the desire to build a community in SUTD where anyone can contribute in a decentralized manner. It's an organic movement to embrace open sharing and collaboration modelled after the idea of an Open Organisation.
This journey started in 2018! Read about our Origin Story.
To ensure that everyone can participate, we minimise barriers to entry to working with us. When we say transparency, we mean it.
OpenSUTD is not a fifth row where there is the notion of a member vs non-member. The only thing we recognise is contributions, and anyone can contribute. Contribution is not limited to code.
TIMELINE
You can click on each "commit" to check out the links! OpenSUTD can be broadly categorised into just 3 main activities. We develop and maintain resources, work on projects and hold events.
