welcome to cseed

at cseed (pronounced "c" + "seed"), our mission is to inspire university of washington engineering & design students to become innovators—to build, create, lead, and empower themselves to bring their most insane ideas to life and solve the problems they are most passionate about.

our vision 💫

we aim to redefine engineering & design culture at uw, shifting away from a focus that is solely on resume-building and career optimization to one of genuine passion, innovation, experimentation, failure, and purpose. we encourage students to approach their education and future with a fresh, fearless perspective.

if you’re looking to join a high-energy community that prioritizes:

  • action >> talk

  • kindness >> judgment

  • growth >> complacency

  • collaboration >> competition

we’d love to have you as a part of our community <3

we bring all of this to life with the following 3 programs:

programs & teams

executive team

the exec team is responsible for general events :

  • conversations: panels & engaging speaker sessions with startup founders and student builders creating things they’re passionate about.

  • workshops: skill-building events, like our gen ai chatbot builder workshop.

  • socials: fun, creative events designed to spark genuine connections, curiosity, and collaboration—like our rabbithole + boba social!
