SPC runs live client projects with real companies on real deadlines. Small teams of students do product research, roadmapping, and UX work for clients like Adobe, Dropbox, and Zocdoc over 10-12 week engagements. Members start on a junior track with more support and take on more client-facing responsibility over time. Workshops and curriculum teach PM from first principles. The club also has a big-little program, retreats, formals, and sends two members annually to present at ISPMA's international conference in India.
