Computing Student Launches First-Ever Hacker House on Campus

For Georgia Tech computer science student Yamil Quispe, the idea was simple: create a space where passionate people could build, collaborate, and launch ideas together. That vision led to the Georgia Tech Hacker House, which Quispe calls the first-ever residency for builders on campus.

Located at 160 6th St NW, the Hacker House offers 10 rooms and 20 spots in a nine-month live-in program for students working on startups, research, or creative projects.

“Every resident becomes part of the founding committee that shapes the house culture,” Quispe said.
