Welcome to CS Marketplace, where campus organizations meet student talent.

Here at CS Marketplace, we at the Computer Sciences department connect UW-Madison researchers, departments, and student organizations with skilled computer science students ready to bring your coding and AI projects to life. Whether you need a data analysis tool, a custom website, or a research application, our marketplace matches you with motivated undergraduates eager to gain real-world experience. Students earn an hourly wage to work 10-15 hours per 15-week semester while building their portfolios with meaningful work. Organizations get high-quality software development at a fraction of traditional costs. It’s a win-win: students develop professional skills, and campus partners get the technical solutions they need to advance their work.
