Tech Trivia Night Recap: Laughter, Challenges, and Champions!
On Wednesday, 15th May 2024, we hosted our first event... Tech Trivia Night, bringing together over 30 enthusiastic members from various disciplines including Computer Science, Game Art, AI and beyond. The event was packed with excitement, competition and a healthy dose of tech humour, making it a night to remember for everyone involved.
Three Thrilling Rounds
The evening kicked off with the first round—a set of word searches designed to warm up the minds of the participants. Students raced against time to find tech-related terms hidden in intricate grids, with the room buzzing as competitors narrowed their focus and spotted elusive words. Thinking of looking for help from your partners... think again! Each member was required to complete a unique word search matching the number of team-mates for fairness to those with smaller teams. It was inspiring to see first-years collaborating with seasoned students, sharing their knowledge and forming connections that strengthened the community spirit within the society.
The second round was a scavenger hunt with a twist—questions were physically hidden around the room. Teams scoured every nook and cranny, peering under tables and lifting up chairs to discover prompts that tested their tech savvy. This unique challenge brought an adventurous and interactive element to the night, fostering teamwork and laughter as students hurried to solve the hidden puzzles.
The final round brought the energy up a notch with a Kahoot quiz. This fast-paced digital showdown tested participants’ tech knowledge on everything from computer history to references in gaming. The cheers and playful groans as questions were answered added an extra layer of fun to the competition.
