Whimsi Campus Ambassador Application
📍 Remote, at your university · Volunteer · Flexible, around your studies
Whimsi (
whimsi.fun) is a new startup founded by Imperial College London alumni, with a mission to make tech fun again. We're the home of fun tech on the web: a place where builders show off the playful games, creative tools and fun web-apps they've made, and where everyone else comes to play them. Builders can list a project in about a minute just by pasting a link, and explorers find things to try based on the mood they're in.
We're looking for Campus Ambassadors to bring creative tech to their campus: run your own hackathon, lead workshops and build a community of curious makers, with materials, guidance and mentorship from us.Any degree, any year. No coding experience needed, just curiosity and a little whimsy. It takes about 5 minutes to apply.
Somewhere along the way, software got serious. Every app became a productivity tool, a dashboard or something to optimise. We think the internet is better with more play in it: little games, creative tools, silly experiments and apps that make you smile for no reason at all.
We're early, small and growing fast. We recently ran Haunted Hack at King's College London with Lovable, which drew 160+ registrations, and we're hosting a free online creativity in tech summit for builders around the world. Now we want Whimsi on every campus.
As a Whimsi Campus Ambassador, you'll be the heart of fun tech at your university. You'll bring together students who love to build, tinker and create, and show them that tech can be playful, expressive and joyful. You'll have real ownership: you can run your own hackathon, and we'll help you make it happen.
