Co-curriculars

Choose from abundant co-curricular opportunities and partner with clinicians, researchers, engineers, and innovators across Johns Hopkins University to transform the next big idea into a marketable technology.

Co-curricular highlight: Hexcite

At the Hexcite early-stage medical software accelerator program, students from across Johns Hopkins match with care providers with an idea to create and market a software solution that improves patient care. Join a team of design and engineering students while working closely with Johns Hopkins Medicine clinical faculty and staff.

Engage with new health technology software from every angle. Serve as the team’s project manager, provide business support (defining the business model and driving the marketing strategy), and create and lead team pitches and presentations. Develop new skills at workshops on software development, design thinking, customer interviews, and wireframing.

Following 16-weeks of inventive programming and mentorship, Hexcite teams build their technology in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Technology Innovation Center, conduct an internal pilot at Johns Hopkins, and launch a Baltimore start-up.
