For our final event of the year, relax and unwind with a board game night.

The first lecture of the secret third MCS module, delivered by a Maths student for extra pizzaz!

Interested in getting started with cybersecurity? Attend a talk with Xavier Carpent, a lecturer specialising in Cyber Security and with a specialisation in applied cryptography and authentication. In this event, Xavier will give an overview of a set of protocols called Private Set Intersection (PSI). Some constructions, use cases, and open research questions will be explored. The canonical PSI protocol allows two parties (both with their own set of elements) to interact in a way that one party learns the intersection of the sets and nothing else (and the other party learns nothing).

Think you know a lot about hacking, socking, and HackSoc? Test your knowledge via Kahoot at the HackSoc trivia night!

Another edition of cafe crawl. We will be stopping at Elena’s Patisserie and Coffee Lounge, 200 Degrees (Flying Horse Walk), Public and CocoTang. Hope to see you there.

We will be catching the 09:29am tram from the University of Nottingham stop to see the final resting place of Ada Lovelace (the world’s first programmer)! This event is a colaboration with the Women in Computer Science society.

Not one, but TWO workshops all about getting started with game development in Unity! Coming to a Jubilee Campus building near you soon! In the first workshop, we focused on game design and mechanics. Now, we learn about implementing them in Unity. Always wanted to learn how to take your ideas from just a thought to a fully fledged system? Now’s your chance!

Uno isn’t a solved game, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try!! Come and join HackSoc this Thursday, 12th of February in School of Computer Science A01 at 18:30 to play a few games of the hit card game Uno! There’s just one rule though, any moves you make must be decided by a program that you’ve written! No rules on any programming languages or other constraints, go wild!! May the best program win.

Not one, but TWO workshops all about getting started with game development in Unity! Coming to a Jubilee Campus building near you soon! In the first workshop, we focus on game design and mechanics, giving you the tools you need to take your ideas from just a thought to a fully fledged system. Next time, we learn to implement them!

Have you ever wanted to pin the facial features on the Oli Sharp profile picture? You have come to the right place! Goose Games is HackSoc’s attempt at hosting an IRL games night, and if the SU is reading this, we promise this shares NO similarities with a certain netflix show. We will be running a variety of children’s party games all thanks to the fact that our president used to be a party entertainer. Read more...
