Hi all,
Hopefully you're all settled back into your Oxford routines and you're looking forward to the rest of term (aside from exams, perhaps!). This week we're hosting our usual geek night as well as a tech talk from CoreFiling, a local Oxford company, on the Internet of Things and Kubernetes. If you're interested in either embedded hardware or containers this should be a great talk to come along to!
One of our sponsors has asked that we share this UCAS survey about how CS students view technology https://www.surveybuilder.com/s/eQkba/nav#p/186a0. It only takes a few minutes to fill in.
Have a great week!

We're on the lookout for a Student Partner to help us change the way the most talented students think about their careers. At Entrepreneur First we specialise in supporting people to build technically defensible companies from scratch and we're looking for ambitious Student Partners to help us inspire and engage the best student technologists to build a startup with EF. This is a great opportunity if you're interested in tech startups and either see yourself founding one or working for one in the future.
*The role*
You'll be helping us grow EF's brand at your university and encourage the best student engineers to start companies. This is a community-facing role and you'll be the eyes and ears 'on the ground' - gathering first-hand insights about our customers and helping them to kick-start their startup journeys with EF. You'll be focused on building a technical community and running tech and startup-focused meetups and events. You'll play a key role in driving applications to our EFX Internship programme enabling students to experience working for a startup first hand.
