The District’s Educational and Scientific Computing Society

 

We are the DC Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery.  Our purpose is to help advance computing as a science and a profession.  We do this offline on a local level through lectures, workshops, discussion panels, and professional development seminars.  We partner with ACM HQ, ACM special interest groups (SIGs), DC area technical user groups, and area university Comp Sci and Info Tech departments.

Join us if you like any of the following categories: http://acm.org/sigs

Our chapter’s three primary community activities:

Discussions                Seminars                  Workshops

We present panel discussions and lectures for free to the public, covering a wide range of technical and academic subjects within the Computer Science and Information Technology fields. We put on fee based professional development seminars that cover skillsets that are relevant to today’s workplace. We have covered Intrustion Detection Systems, iPhone and Android development, 3-D Graphics with Blender, and more. We also host workshops and collobrative sessions. These can focus on resume improvements, interview approaches, or just simply a communal workspace for a window of time.
