Do you enjoy board games? If so, then come and join us this Saturday for board games night! We’ll have a variety of board games to play online, as well as some fun party games for anyone interested. See you there!
Cisco Tech Talk - Have Your Robots Call My Robots https://www.facebook.com/events/279097026974814/
*19:00, Wednesday, Week 3*
Creating a better, cheaper Internet for all depends on network operations moving away from humans to software automatons.
This raises technical challenges, where techniques originating in automated theorem proving are highly practical.
This is an accessible talk, that won’t assume deep knowledge of either networking or formal methods.

Learn To Code https://www.facebook.com/events/447419199603184
*19:00, Thursday, Week 3, Zoom*
Learn to code! If you want to learn how to write code or refresh your knowledge, this course will teach introductory programming in the Python language with no prior experience necessary. Programming is a useful skill in a range of subjects and having some knowledge of it is a great way to improve your CV. Alternatively, if you’re already a CS student and would like to volunteer to help teach others some introductory Python, please contact the committee (replying to this email is fine) and we’ll get you connected!
