Here at STATION F we think it’s of the utmost importance to give access to the knowledge that is shared on campus and to give some insights on what’s happening here at STATION F.

That is why we decided to start our Youtube Channel in addition to our blog!

We currently have two playlists:

Inside STATION F that lets you discover the campus and major events. Don’t miss our Back to School video
STATION FEATURING: in-depth interviews with amazing entrepreneurs. Our first feature: Leila Janah, founder of Samasource and LXMI, both working towards ending poverty!
