Computer Science Club

Take your skills further with our student-led organization.

We host a variety of events, guest speakers, and challenges throughout the year to build our skills:

In-House Hackathons

We give a prompt in one meeting, and members have two weeks to make the best project that fits the prompt.

Coding Battles

Members get into teams to solve a problem in the most efficient way possible in 30 minutes. Submissions are scored on correctness, efficiency, and clarity.

Accessible Problem Solving

Members can code a solution or just come up with an algorithm. This way anyone can participate, not just those who know how to code.

Hardware & Reverse Engineering

We do hardware demos with equipment like a Raspberry Pi. We also look at something that was coded and work together to figure out how it was made.

Language Spotlights

We challenge members to learn and write a program in a specific language that they probably have never used. Example languages include Rust, C, Go, and Swift.
