What is an Argos Club?

Argos Clubs are university clubs where students set out to discover what they can build and who they can become. Created by The IO Foundation within its TechUp initiative, they give every member two labs:

PromptForge Lab: real hardware at the university for hands-on technology in virtualization, AI, networking and cybersecurity. Wayfinder Lab: where members practice leadership, going to market and fundraising, mainly by running their own Argos Club through a student committee.

Members learn to host and run their own technology, a habit that stays with them long after they leave the Argos Club, and they build a network through fellowships at the standards meetings where the internet is shaped.
