I finally got a relevant Facebook advertisement!

CodeSprint is a coding contest designed to streamline the job hunt for programmers. Instead of applying to 65 companies individually, work your noggin on a single set of interesting and tough coding challenges in a 48 hour period to get interview calls from these awesome companies!

Unlike the first CodeSprint, CodeSprint 2 will be open to everyone.

> Senior undergraduates are welcome to take this class, but must get
> approval from Shwetak first.
> I’ll be offering a course in ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) again this
> winter
> quarter. The aim of the class will be to explore the area of ubicomp and
> allow students to work on a variety of small technology projects. Students
> will be exposed to the basics of building ubicomp systems, emerging new
> research topics, and advanced prototyping techniques. This course will

Subject: [Inventiontostartup] Learn start-up essentials from entrepreneurs + get two credits (ENTRE 540)

Thinking about entering the 2012 UW Business Plan Competition or Environmental Innovation Challenge but not sure where to start?
Join CIE every Thursday during winter quarter for Business Plan Competition Resource Nights and learn first-hand from local entrepreneurs the essentials of business planning and what it really takes to get a company off the ground. The nine sessions, which run from 6-7:50 pm, include topics such as: Entrepreneurial Checklist; Financials for Start-Ups with Alan Dishlip, CFO of Billing Revolution; and What Investors Want with Geoff Entress, Voyager Capital and Founder’s Co-op, and Charles Seybold, Liquid Planner.

These sessions are open to students and the public. In addition to all the great entrepreneurial insights, you can also earn two credits for attending the Resource Nights if you register for ENTRE 540.  Requirements: Attend all Resource Nights on Thursdays from 6-7:50 p.m. this winter and submit a 5-7 page executive summary for the company you plan to enter in the Business Plan Competition. (Note: This executive summary will not be your “official” entry into the Competition but is designed to clarify your business plan.) Email me, Sarah Massey, at masses@uw.edu to request an ENTRE 540 add code.  Undergraduates, full-time MBAs, evening MBAs, and graduate students from other disciplines (BIOE, ME, MSIM, etc.) can register for ENTRE 540.  Learn more about ENTRE 540

Resource Nights run from Thursday, January 5 to Thursday, March 1 from 6-7:50 p.m. in Paccar 192 (Shansby Auditorium).  You do not have to be enrolled in ENTRE 540 to attend these sessions.

Resource Nights Schedule

Let me know if you have questions.  Happy New Year.

From Tracy, Facilities manager:

Georgetown University: Department of Biostatistics, Bioinformatics and Biomathematics

Are you interested in genetics, bioterrorism, international health, bioinformatics, epidemiology or health policy?

Our M.S. program provides integrated training in computational, quantitative, and biomedical sciences to support health-related research performed in academia, government, and industry. Students will not only acquire the quantitative and computational tools that underpin epidemiology and bioinformatics, but also gain substantive exposure to applications of these tools to biological and health sciences. Our program brings together faculty from our Department and from Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) Basic Science and Clinical Departments, many of whom are members of Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC). Graduates with an MS degree in Biostatistics go on to successful and lucrative positions in academic centers, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and private consulting firms.

Applications for our Masters of Science Program in Biostatistics are currently open for Fall 2012. The application deadline is June 1st, 2012.

Are you working on a project or technology that has potential to start a company — possibly from one of your classes? Would you like to win money, gain experience, make contacts, and get feedback on your idea?

If so, register now for the 6th Annual Science & Technology Showcase (STS) at https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/seba/149528. Last year, eight cash prizes ranging from $100 to $1,000 were given away (several were to CSE students). Applications are due by next Monday, Dec. 19th.

– When: January 12th, 2011 from 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm

– Who: Individuals or teams representing a science- or technology-based ideas with commercial potential. The idea can be at any stage from pre-proof of concept to completed product. It can be something you’ve worked on out of your garage, in your lab (with your adviser’s approval), or in collaboration with the Center for Commercialization.

– Deliverables: A poster that explains the idea and its market potential and a one-minute “elevator” pitch. Note: SEBA & CIE will cover the cost of printing your poster.

Please direct any questions to Erik Feest at president@uwseba.org. Good luck!
