Hey everyone!
We hope midterm season is going well 🙂
We are a new RSO on campus that aims to connect computer science students with meaningful projects that work towards social good. For now, we get our projects from Microsoft Hack For Good (yearly hackathon for Microsoft employees where they develop for non-profits). Not only do we make a significant impact in the community by filling crucial technology gaps in charitable and governmental organizations, we provide talented UW undergraduates with relevant experience in their field so they can have a jumpstart on their careers. Our teams were invited to the yearly Microsoft wide hackathon last year (over 10,000 engineers showed up!) and we also won a $5000 grant for exceptional work on a long standing project from Microsoft Philanthropies earlier this year. This truly is a great way to get involved in your community while expanding your network and gaining amazing engineering experience. Please look at the attached flyer for more information about us!
We have several potential projects in store for you guys, so if you’re interested, please come out to one of our info sessions next week! We’ll talk about the projects, more about our club and how you can get involved (Snacks will be provided of course :)).
The Info Sessions will be on:
-
Monday, November 5th at 5:30-6:30 pm
-
Thursday, November 8th at 5:30-6:30 pm
-
Location TBD
Both info sessions will be identical, come to the one that best fits your schedule.
Please RSVP at the below links so we can get an expectation of how many people will attend:
