Hey everyone,
Our next social event this term is Movie Night! Join us on Discord and we’ll all vote on a movie to watch together, as is tradition. This week’s tech talk is from TPP, titled “Research into large scale COVID data”. Note that this talk is happening at 3pm, see below for more info. Learn to Code also continues this week on Thursday! Whether you’re keen to learn programming or have experience and want to help others learn, it’s a great opportunity. We’ve also got messages from Citadel, Google and the Oxford University Careers Service this week, more info in the attached PDFs and below.
In week 7 this term, we’ll be having our AGM. Most importantly, this includes elections for the 2021-2022 committee. It’s a great opportunity and well worth your consideration if you’re interested in running for a position. More info to come, so stay tuned!
If you aren’t already on the CompSoc Discord, you can join it here to take part in social events and keep in touch with other members.

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!
Attached are flyers with info on the following events:
Europe Regional Datathon (February 15 – 22): Do you love working with data and building data driven apps to problem solve? Then this is for you! Work in a team to tackle challenges that touch the global markets, with the opportunity to win cash prizes and reach the Data Open final.
Europe Regional Terminal (March 8 - 15): A games based coding competition working in teams - watch your algorithm compete and have the opportunity to win cash prizes!

When: Wednesday 10th March 2021, 6pm - 7.30pm GMT
