PlexTech is a software engineering org where members build real client projects for companies like AWS, Microsoft, Zendesk, and Atlassian. New members start in a semester-long curriculum bootcamp learning full-stack development, then move onto client project teams of 5-6 developers working on fullstack, ML, or data engineering projects. The club pairs technical work with a tight-knit community through weekly socials, a big-little mentorship program, and random weekly 'chummings.'
