Activities and Events
Last May the Computing Society had a Trivia Night and it became a huge success! They had over 30 attendees come together to form groups and solve tricky challenges tailored to help them learn.
This included students from Cybersecurity, Software Development, Games Programming, Game Design and Computer Science from various years. It was a great feeling seeing everyone have a great time with activities and the pride on the winners' faces after their hard work. They hope to make this a yearly event.... bigger, better and even sillier this year.
What members say…
"The computing society is very welcoming; I've been interested in computer-related events in the past but didn't really know much about computers. They helped me learn new things I didn't even know existed. Their trivia night was very fun and had different things you could take part in, such as word searches and Kahoot quizzes.
I'm looking forward to what they have planned in the future and can't wait to learn more things about the computer world. I would heavily recommend joining this society if you want to meet like-minded individuals and learn new things." - Corey Beech, Game Design BSc
"I have felt very welcome in society. The things the committee have been working on behind the scenes to bring out for everyone this year have put lots of drive in me. Keep an eye out on our events... there's so much coming your way." - Jakub Podborowski, VFX and Virtual Production BSc.
"I'm looking forward to SCS this year. I'm hoping to improve my programming skills and just have someone to speak with people who have shared interests." - Gideon Doe Bokomi, Computer Games Design and Programming BSc
