Hi,
There is a security competition this weekend: <http://www.poly.edu/
We may also talk about other, broader security efforts and activities in UW CSE, so if you’re interested in that too please stop by. But the primary focus of this meeting will be on CSAW. We’ll have announcements of other security-related events in the future — please stay tuned.
If you can’t make the meeting but are still interested in the competition, please let us know.
Thanks,

The City of Seattle wants CSE majors to know about an app contest and some special events: a business casual event on Aug. 9 and our Geeks on a Ferry event on Aug. 14. The event on a ferry has a special student rate and includes dinner. The link to the apps challenge is here http://www.evergreenapps.org/
Evergreen Apps Challenge seeks application developers
Build an app. Make a difference
SEATTLE – Seattle, King County and Washington State are teaming up to offer more than $75,000 in prize money for development of apps that use government data and stimulate economic development throughout the state. State support comes from the Washington State Broadband Office which is a program of the state Department of Commerce. The challenge officially opens today and is open to anyone who lives, works or studies in Washington State.
“We expect to see some great apps that combine the best work of our dynamic private and public sectors,” said Rogers Weed, director of the Department of Commerce. “Washington’s digital economy, from broadband to software to e-commerce, is key to the state’s recovery, growth and resilience.” (more…)
Get your thinking caps on for the 4th annual UIST Student Innovation Contest. The goal of the contest is to invent new interactions on state-of-the-art hardware. We give you the hardware and a chance to win up to $1500, and you show us what you can do.
The hardware this year is a revolutionary input device, brought to you by Synaptics. The sensor is code-named “Jedeye” and features high resolution, independent tracking of up to 5 fingers, but also adds a new dimension. For more details, check out the announcement video.
You will have an opportunity to build applications using “Jedeye” before the hardware is made available to the public. Bring your demo to UIST 2012 and compete for cash prizes, including awards for people’s choice, most creative, and most useful demo.
We are also providing two travel grants of $1000 each to cover travel expenses & registration for undergraduates and high school teams ONLY. Eligible teams must make a video explaining their idea and showcasing a basic working prototype. For more information, check out the contest website.
The contest registration deadline is August 19th and one team member must be registered for the UIST Conference by August 26th to participate. For more details and to register, visit the contest website. For questions, email contest@uist.org. Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter, where we will be posting updates.
We hope to see you and your entry at the UIST Conference in Cambridge, MA, on October 7th-10th, 2012.
