Code & Tell

Do you have a project idea that you know would shake up the marketplace? Now is your time to show it off, get feedback, and brainstorm with your peers at Code & Tell. Think of Code & Tell as an open-mic night for student makers. Whether it’s a hyper semantic search tool for ghost stories, a review app for BU Dining Menus, or the first spark of a startup idea—all ideas are welcome!
