WiCS Pepper Programming Workshop: WiCS is hosting an event for those interested in robotics! Led by Dr. Angelica Lim, this workshop will teach you the basics of programming a Pepper robot. Dr. Lim received her B.Sc. in Computing Science (specializing in Artificial Intelligence) at SFU, and her M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Kyoto University, Japan, specialized in Artificial Intelligence applied to Robotics. You are required to register ahead of time for this workshop and details will be sent out soon after registration. We’re excited to see everyone there! Hosted by Women in Computing Science

Data Center Tours: Ever wondered what it is like to be in "the cloud"? Now is your chance to find out. This year we are offering 3 different tours to our froshees to get the "Data Center Experience". Complete with loud fans, and hundeds of thousands of computer processing power that is used for products like Google Drive, Amazon AWS, and Digital Ocean. We will be visiting the main SFU data center [which consists of Cedar and Bugabo] located in the water tower building. Please note that we are offering 3 different tours to allow for all our froshees to experience the tour as well as to make sure that any froshees who wish to attend the WiCS Pepper Programming Workshop can also partake.

- Rules for Data Center: closed toe shoes, no food or drink.
- Location: Meet at SFU Burnaby, ASB Atrium. Go to Water Tower Building

Pac Macro: Have you ever felt your life was missing something? Sure, you've got friends, school, and homework, but have you ever just felt the need to wakka wakka? Well now you can through the power of Pac Macro! Don the Pacman costume, made in-house by a CS student (sorry!), and evade your undead nemeses Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. But these aren’t just any old undead menaces, these are your fellow students in more costumes homemade by a CS student (again, really sorry!). We’ll start by meeting up in the ASB Atrium and then head downtown together as a group. Afterwards we head back to campus for a hearty dinner to help ready you for the long night ahead
Location: Meet at SFU Burnaby, ASB Atrium. Then head downtown to SFU Vancouver, room HCC2245 and HCC2260

Dinner Downtown: As you lick your wounds from the field of battle, know that it was but a small rehearsal in a larger campaign. As you sit amongst your brethren, fill your stomach with food so that it may prepare you for the events that lay ahead of you. Discuss strategy and seek wisdom from your leaders. Above all, prepare yourself for a long night of hunting, cheering and celebration as you will match wits with yourself, your peers and most dastardly of all: the filthy engineers.
- Location: The Old Spaghetti Factory (Gastown)

Midnight Madness: You’ve heard whispers in the shadows and tales on the streets, but this is finally it. The time has arrived for the weak to fall by the wayside and for the strong to survive. It’s time to learn the joy of all-nighters with all the work and none of the fun. We do battle against the engineers at the Frosh Slurpee drink-off, dodgeball game, and more. Inbetween these grueling battles we'll help keep you up all night with adrenaline filled skirmishes containing copious quantities of games, random prize opportunities, and other such mischief.
Make sure to tell your parents not to wait up. You probably don’t want them to know of the horrors that go on during the night so... Tell them you’re studying! Ya, they'll totally believe that! Now remember, Midnight Madness goes all night so prepare to be at SFU till the wee hours of the morning on Saturday. The culmination of the week long mystery which may or may not exist will be revealed during the night, so make sure you stay to find out the maybe-possibly-not-sure twist ending.

What's the difference between Frosh Week and SFU Welcome Day?
+
What's the difference between Frosh Week and SFU Welcome Day? SFU Welcome Day is a very informative event held in August that teaches you where stuff on campus is, how to be successful, and prepares you for a solid start at university. You will meet one upper-year student, called your Orientation Leader (OL) who may or may not be in Computing Science, and ~15 other students in Applied Science. It's useful, especially for those who don't know the campus very well. Frosh Week is just pure, unadulterated FUN, and is for all CS students, regardless of how well you know the campus. You will meet dozens of wise upper-year students and other first years in CS. You will learn things the Orientation Leaders aren't allowed to tell you. You'll compete for awesome prizes, and receive tons of food. You'll make memories that you'll look back on 20 years down the road. Awesome! Frosh Week is the easiest way to meet people, and is completely different from the 2 days of information you'll receive during SFU Orientation.
Will there be alcohol? No! We will not be providing you with alcohol.

I am located at the Surrey campus, can I still attend Frosh Week?
- Yes, Frosh Week is open to any and all Computing Science Students, but on-campus events are held at the SFU Burnaby Campus. Feel free to come join us for any of the events that you are able to make. Unfortunately some events will be during your classes at Surrey, other events are held later in the day or in downtown Vancouver. Software Systems [ Facebook Event Page] and Mechatronics [ Facebook Event Page ] usually have events at the Surrey campus also. Additionally, Engineering Science Student Society has a schedule and a Facebook page for their Frosh Week Events.

Don’t worry! Everyone is in the same boat! Start with a simple “Hey, my name is” and you should be fine. If you’re super concerned about not knowing anyone, we’re going to put you in small groups first so that you can be more comfortable.
Where should I go on the first day? The Atrium of the Applied Science Building. We’ll be there waiting!
Organizing and running Frosh is a team effort. Everyone has a say in the look, theme, events, and other aspects of Frosh Week.
