Hi all, just want to let everyone know about the wonder that is Tech Week, which is coming at you THIS week (Feb 27th - Mar 4th) We've got loads and loads on this week, so don't miss out! DCU's Annual Tech Week, week 4 (27th Feb - 4th Mar) Run by : AMS, AstroSoc, DCU Drama, FilmSoc, FotoSoc, GamesSoc, MPS, Redbrick, Strange Things This year's Tech Week is as full as ever, and roaring to go, with even more societies taking part. Every year a host of societies get together to celebrate Technology and all its wonders. There will be talks, workshops, demonstrations, movies and gaming! This week is not one to be missed, especially as all events are FREE! A lot of events will be held in the Seminar Room upstairs in the Hub, keep an eye out for the timetable with extra details and surprise additions! We kick off on Monday at 2pm in the Seminar room with a talk from DCU's own Multimedia Lecturer Declan Tuite, with a presentation entitled "An Introduction To Modern Multimedia", followed later at 5pm with a fascinating talk on the "Science Challenge Programme" (same location) To finish, we have Tom Murphy (aka DeVore) from the famous Boards.ie giving us a talk on the History of the Internet at 6! This is a riveting talk that Tom attempted to give last year but unfortunately was interrupted by DCUSU's fire alarm, so hopefully this year we'll get a full and finished talk from him! In addition to all this, there will also be a workshop from DCU Drama on Lighting and Sound held in the Venue (3pm - 5pm), which promises to be very informative. If anime is your passion, don't miss AMS' showing of "Full Metal Alchemist" in T101 from 7pm. On Tuesday we have Tony Kelly doing a talk all about the Games Industry, on behalf of GamesSoc which promises to be truly fascinating, then FilmSoc will be showing Madagascar in T101 from 6pm, and to finish off the night, we have MPS hosting a table quiz in the New Bar from 7pm!! On Wednesday afternoon at 2pm, FotoSoc will host a photo shop tutorial for all those who want to want to know how to fake pictures... From 3pm til 6, Strange Things will be showing the first and second Matrix movies (The Matrix & the Matrix Reloaded) in HG23 in the Nursing building, fun! If you didn't really like the Matrix movies, at four, we have a speaker from the prestigious Google over to talk to us about site reliability engineering in Google, which is set to be a very interesting talk, and to top it off, we have planned, a free, yes free, reception in DCU's New Bar from 7, to launch the much discussed new version of the Redbrick website. Come along, and bring a friend! On Thursday at 2pm, we have a speaker from KPMG speaking on Security in Business, a useful talk for those doing any security related courses. After that, why not come along to the lab gaming run by Game Soc in C204 in the Henry Grattan building from 6 and play along! To finish up that evening we have AMS running Technolize, episodes 1 - 6 in the Seminar room from 7pm, a nice light ending to the day. On Friday from 3pm we have AstroSoc holding one of their renowned Star-BBQs / Solar Picnics in the Fountain, this promises to be great fun and a great learning experience, along with a free feed! Then on Friday night, we have Redbrick Sadsoc Presents: Pub night out in Doyles (next to Trinity college, on D'olier street) from 8pm! This is where all the societies get together and celebrate the fantastic week that has been... TECH WEEK! But that's not all folks, oh no! We have Wavehunt!! Wavehunt is in its second year running.
