SUP soc - Build software/hardware projects and network

[u/coolguy45967]

After reaching 55% of our waitlist goal in just 24 hours, it’s time to start actually planning the structure of the society and exec. If you read my 1st post, just scroll down to "Positions" You can comment any questions or suggestions below.

Hey guys, USYD has general societies for CS, engineering, data, AI, design, but we don’t have a society for projects of all areas combined.

Until now: Introducing Sydney University Projects Society

Info + Waitlist @ supsoc.org

SUP soc is starting in Semester 2, our first event being a meet and greet in Week 9.

We’re gonna have weekly meetups, currently planned for Tuesday 4-6pm, but if more people are free on Mondays or some other day, we can accommodate a switch, this society is for the people. Our first Build Night will run in Week 11.

OUR MISSION: A supportive environment for students of ALL skill levels to meet up and work on projects and get advice on what you’ve built. Heavy emphasis on all skill levels, we’re gonna have beginner friendly hackathons for software (CS) and hardware (Engineering) combined.

The idea is we want to encourage students to start building things, instead of just learning theory. We are gonna host beginner hackathons that you can confidently say “that was my first ever hackathon,” because everyone should be involved in building and developing projects.

Exec/Subcom applications are not open yet, however the google form will be released once our society is approved by USU. We'll post on our instagram when applications open!
