Hi CompSoc!

We hope everyone’s recovered from LAN Night! It was so great to see everyone there! CompSoc is beginning to wind down its activities for the term, but we still have a few great events lined up for everyone to enjoy.

First up, Ocado Technology are coming to talk about the cutting edge work done by their 10x Team. Ocado’s work is always fascinating to learn about, so this is sure to be a great talk. You’ll have a chance to network after the talk over some (timely!) pizza.

Next Saturday’s Geek Night is a wind down before exams. Some of our members will be available to discuss Computer Science and/or Maths options with students moving up a year to help you make your decisions.

Looking further ahead, our Termly General Meeting takes place on Wednesday of Week 7. If you’d like to put forward a motion then just get in touch with a member of the committee and we can help you out.

Gold sponsor TPP are holding more logic and reasoning tests later this term. Check out below for more information!

Remember to follow CompSoc’s Instagram. Pictures from the LAN Night should be appearing soon!

Have a great week,

The CompSoc committee
