HackSoc, the computer science society
Hello, HackSoc!
 
 
 
 

The talk schedule for this term has been published! You can take a look at the upcoming talks this term on the Talks page of our website. The first talk will be taking place next week, all about testing concurrent code.

This week we've got a biscuity BakeTogether on Wednesday, Film Night on Friday, and more "Detroit: Become Human" in PlayTogether on Saturday!

The Calendar
 
 
 
 

BakeTogether - 15:00, Wed 27/01 - HackSoc Discord (The Pod)

A brand-new virtual event - join us on Discord and bake up something tasty to a chosen theme!

If you've got something in mind which fits the theme nicely then you can choose your own recipe, or you can use our suggested recipe.

This week's BakeTogether theme is: biscuits! If you've got a biscuit recipe you'd like to use, then that's brilliant - join us and bake that! If you don't have anything particular in mind, then we'd suggest these ginger biscuits! You can use butter instead of margarine, and also plain flour plus 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder instead of self-raising flour.


Film Night - 19:00, Fri 29/01 - HackSoc Discord (The Pod)

We gather together in our Discord server to watch a film (or sometimes several). Apparently some of these might have a link to Computer Science, but we haven't spotted one yet.

Vote for the film you'd like to watch using our Film Night Portal!

We'll use our very own live-streaming platform to watch the film together. Hop into our Discord server at 7pm, and the film will begin after some time to catch up with your fellow members. (If you wouldn't like to hear any conversation during the film, then you're welcome to mute and deafen yourself!)


PlayTogether - 21:00, Sat 30/01 - HackSoc Discord (The Pod)

We're trying out a brand-new event: gather in Discord and play a narrative video game together, voting on the story choices to make!

This week, we'll be continuing with "Detroit: Become Human".

And Finally...
