Hi all, 

Good morning! Instead of our usual Geek Night this Saturday we will instead be hosting a LAN Night on Friday in conjunction with the eSports Society. Next week we will also have our Termly General Meeting.

Have a great week!

Thomas and the rest of the committee

Events

LAN Night

Undergraduate Social Area, Department of Computer Science - 7pm Friday (5th week)

Join us for an evening of video games and pizza to kill the fifth week blues! You'll need to bring your own laptop, but we'll provide everything else. We aren't planning to play any particular games in advance - so it will just be whatever people fancy.

Termly General Meeting

Undergraduate Social Area, Department of Computer Science - 7pm Wednesday (6th week)

The committee will report on this term's activity and what we have planned for the forthcoming year. There will also be the opportunity to raise motions and any other issues with the committee.

As with all our events, pizza and drinks will be served after the meeting.

Microsoft talk: The Future of Tech with James Whittaker

Said Business School, 12:15pm Tuesday (6th week)

Apps are eating the web. The Internet of Things will ultimately mean more Internet traffic generated and consumed by machines than by humans. Machines are learning our habits faster than we can form them. What does all this mean for the future? How will we interact with our devices when they are as smart or smarter than we are? How will anyone manage to make money is this coming world? Join Microsoft Distinguished Engineer James Whittaker for an entertaining and thought provoking jaunt into the future – a future coming a lot faster than most people imagine.

Register for the talk here.

Entrepreneur First Student Partner opportunity

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.
