About PennLaunch
PennLaunch is an online platform for the Penn community to utilize its members' vast skill sets and resources. It is a searchable database for students, staff, and faculty to join or find team members for new and ongoing projects, as well as to advertise skills they have to offer. The primary goal of this service is to enable individuals and groups to easily connect with one another.
PennLaunch is for everyone - undergraduates, graduates, entrepreneurs, faculty, and more. It is available to students of all majors and schools.
Your skills can be your educational studies, your background or something you are passionate about. You could be chemistry major but you love photography or a history major that speaks Spanish. Let people know about that skill and others so they can find you.
