What is Bug2Build?
Bug2Build is a student-led tech and innovation community dedicated to bridging the gap between learning and real-world application. We empower students to move from finding bugs to building solutions through hands-on workshops, hackathons, research collaborations, and open-source projects.
At Bug2Build, we believe true learning happens by doing. Our teams work across multiple domains — Technology, Research, Cybersecurity, Marketing, Events, Design, Sponsorship, and HR — to create a dynamic environment where students grow practically, not just theoretically.
Bug2Build is not just a club — it's a movement of builders, thinkers, and changemakers who believe that small ideas, when nurtured collaboratively, can create a big impact.

What We Do
Bug2Build is a student-driven tech community dedicated to building skills, solving real problems, and
growing together. We bring students from different domains under one platform where they can
collaborate, learn, and innovate. Our focus is on practical learning — moving from “finding bugs” to
actually “building” impactful solutions.
We create opportunities that help students gain confidence, explore new technologies, and develop
leadership & teamwork skills while having fun through community engagement.
Events & Workshops
We regularly organize engaging events such as hackathons, coding challenges, tech talks, and project
showcases. These events motivate students to test their skills, compete with peers, and experience
real-world problem-solving.
Our workshops are designed to be hands-on and beginner-friendly. We cover trending fields like web
development, cybersecurity, AI/ML, open-source tools, and many more — helping students stay updated with
industry needs and practical skills.
