Research-a-thon 2020
Event Information
About this event
Are you interested in CS research? Solving hard problems with a team of like-minded peers?
From March 7-8, RUCS and TURCS are hosting a research-a-thon, where you'll have the chance to collaborate with colleagues and get guidance from mentors in a number of CS fields. All U of T undergrads are welcome, and no research experience is required.
We'll be providing free meals and coffee, and you'll get to work on a set of interesting, as-of-yet unsolved problems. You'll gain experience in formulating a research plan, collaborating with others, and presenting your work.
Spots are limited, so please register now!
