November 2024 - Upcoming Events

- Date Posted: Oct 30, 2024

Hello everyone! We hope you’ve been able to settle well into university.

We’ve had an incredible start to the semester with our Cream Tea and Halloween Quiz events, and have got to meet so many of you. For our first session of Missing Semester, we had to book three(!!) rooms to have everyone join the event, and we had to order 40 pizzas from Papa John’s for our CS Societies Night, only to be told off for ordering too much. However, none of this would’ve happened if it wasn’t for all of you. Thank you for making these events unforgettable, as CSS would not be the same without you.

This month, we’ve got a big collection of events coming up, but this list isn’t exhaustive - expect some surprises around the corner!

Lua Workshops 🛠️ - Thursday 31st October, 5pm - Y3-G29

This Thursday, we have Amrit giving the second Lua workshop that covers the following:

If you missed the first talk, you can access the “slides” for it here: https://www.frityet.net/lua-ss/ (of which we were told were made in Lua, believe it or not)

November EGM 🗳️ - Wednesday 6th November, 1pm - Y3-G34

Campaigning for the EGM has now begun! You can now post your manifestos, questions and constitutional amendments ahead of the EGM into the newly opened channel on our Discord server.

If you’re considering standing for a role in the EGM, you are able to do so on the voting website: https://vote.cssbham.com

If you’re standing or have questions for candidates, you are now able to join them in Discord, which you can do here: https://cssbham.com/discord

See you on the day!

NQ64 🎮 - Thursday 7th November, 7pm

We’ll be returning to NQ64 for the night! NQ64 is a drinking arcade in Digbeth with themed drinks and arcade games like Mario Kart, Crazy Taxi, Pacman, etc. - for more information, check NQ64’s website.

We’ll also be hosting a walking train starting at 6:15pm from the Computer Science building if you’re not sure of how to get there!

If you’re planning on going, please note that NQ64 only accepts driver licenses and passports for entry, and only people 18 years or older are allowed inside.

Film Night 🎥 - Wednesday 13th November, 7pm - University House G12

The following week, we’ll be holding a film night - break out your popcorn (if it gets approved by the Guild) and enjoy a CS-oriented film with your friends!

Currently, we are holding a vote in Discord for the film to show; these include:

Voting will be open for a week, then the film to be hosted will be announced!

CSS x AlgoSoc 💼

We’re currently working on a collaborative event with AlgoSoc to deliver important knowledge about applying to positions in the CS industry - we’ll have more details confirmed soon, so keep an eye out on CSS’ and AlgoSoc’s socials!

Python Workshop 🐍

We’ll be looking to hold a Python workshop later in the month, hosted by none other than our wonderful Matt, who has held similar workshops in the past! If you’re unfamiliar with Python and want to start somewhere to learn it, this will be the best opportunity to do so.

Pub…? Lots of pubs…?

This is one we’re still in the process of confirming - keep an eye out for more information!

Missing Semester 🐧

We have more coming with our collaborative talks from us, AFNOM and contributors within SoCS! As a quick overview of what’s to come this month:

Each session is being held on Mondays from 1pm to 2pm.

Festive fun awaits…

This covers all of our events for November, but there’s also some pretty significant ones waiting right around the corner… something about advent… something about a green man and certainly dressed TeX… something about Discord bots…

We’ll post any updates on our Discord or Instagram @cssbham - we hope you’ve enjoyed the events we’ve run so far, and we’ll see you around!

All the love,
- CSS Committee
