Events

This year the computer science department held the first-ever Hackathon at UIC, in collaboration with ambassadors from WICS, and other student organizations including ACM, LUG, LOGICA, and SWE. Students came together to create projects addressing issues revolving around Community over a course of 2 days. All projects were judged by our CS professors. WICS also held different workshops throughout both days that would benefit students such as Intro to GitHub, Intro to App Development using React to name a few.

We thank everyone who made this a successful and fun event!

We were so excited to hold our first in-person scavenger hunt since 2019! Students and faculty came together in teams to solve some Halloween-themed computer science problems and compete for some UIC CS goodies. Each team consisted of different class-level students (1XX, 2XX, 3XX, 4XX) and a professor.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this event SPOOKtacular!

Due to being online during the Fall 2020 semester, we had a virtual scavenger hunt! Students and faculty came together in teams to solve computer science problems. Each team consisted of different class-level students (1XX, 2XX, 3XX, 4XX) along with a professor.

A huge thank you to all the faculty that donated their time to join the students for this event. It was a HUGE success!

Every year we co-sponsor the Fall Scavenger Hunt. This event takes place in the CS lounge, where both students and professors are placed into teams. Each member in the team are at a different level depending on what computer science courses they have taken (1xx, 2xx, 3xx, & 4xx courses) with one professor per team. They are given a set of problems to solve & find throughout the UIC’s east campus.

There’s food, friendships, and a great time! Our scavenger hunt this fall semester was a success. Thank you for everyone who made this a successful event.
