The Student Startup Center (SSC) at UC Davis is an on-campus organization where UC Davis students can prototype ideas and collaborate on technology ventures. The space was designed as a creativity hub for learners and young entrepreneurs, and is equipped with resources to empower students at the earliest stages of their startup ideas. These include materials and software for the creation of prototypes, a 3D printer for generating physical prototypes, a 3D scanner for digitizing 3D physical models, and a CNC device for milling and machining of plastics, wood, and aluminum. Since its launch in October 2013, this unique flexible space has served as a classroom, meeting space, event venue, makerspace and student startup incubator for over 850 students on campus.
