Programming Café

Hello and welcome to our programming cafe events! This is a much more laid back event than our workshops and talks, just rock up and work on a project, and speak to other people about their projects! We’ll be encouraging people to do a brief show and tell towards the end, and you may end up spotlit in our newsletter! We will also have coffee and tea. The event will take place in the Exchange Building C33. Read more...
