Gig Tank (Chattanooga, TN)

Gig Tank Student Track is a part think tank, part startup
training ground. Our mission is to develop both the next
wave of disruptive technologies, but also the amazing
humans who will build those prototypes. It doesn’t hurt that
here in beautiful Chattanooga, TN, we have the largest and
fastest gigabit fiber network in the Western Hemisphere.
Successful applicants receive free housing and a $3000
stipend. Participants gain real-world experience through the
conception, build, and launch of an original product while
wearing many hats. Simultaneously, students delve deeper
into their chosen concentration, collaborating with local
partners to develop apprenticeships. Participants will leave
Gig Tank with a compelling portfolio and a wide professional
network.
