Startup Dorm Room

Just a test.

Computer science is the great equalizer when it comes to the opportunity to start a company. If you can get your hands on a working laptop and some coding tutorials, you can build a product. Shahar Ben-Dor, a Sophomore Mechanical Engineering student at Georgia Tech, is a living example of this. This June, he released AuxBox, the hot, new iOS app that makes listening to music a more interactive and social experience. Combining the concepts of a Juke Box and an Aux Chord, Shahar's app allows you to create a collaborate music channel where everyone listening can add songs from Spotify or Apple Music and listeners can vote on which song plays next.
