New Events For The Quarter!

We hope you’re having a great Spring quarter so far! This quarter, ACM presents a number of new technical events and workshops. Keep an eye out on weekly emails and check them out!

Overview:

  • Algorithms Night

  • Mobile Development

  • Programming Competition Prep

  • Startup Series

  • Weekly Typed (Programming Languages)

Algorithms Night

Algorithms run our world, but do you know them all? Don’t reinvent the wheel, learn the algorithms and data structures that power industries. Every session we will learn useful and interesting data structures and algorithms that are not taught at UW.

Mobile Development

Want to create a mobile application, but don’t know where to start? Each meeting, we will highlight a topic related to mobile development.

Programming Competition Prep

Each week, we will focus on a topic relevant to programming competitions. This will vary widely in content, but could include algorithms overviews, language-specific tips and tricks, and higher-level team strategy. We’ll solve problems from previous contests relevant to the week’s topic.

Startup Series

You got a cool idea; now what? This speaker series focuses on taking your cool idea and turning it into something big. Featuring speakers from the startup world including local entrepreneurs, engineers, venture capitalists, and tech lawyers, learn how to make money off your idea by taking it to the next level.

Weekly Typed

A club for students to gain exposure to programming languages not taught at UW. One meeting a week. One language a week. Led by students with expertise in that week’s language.
