✨ ZOO at CUSEC 2025! ✨ Hope everyone's having a great start to their new year! Last week, ZOO had the incredible opportunity to organize the University of Calgary Delegation, consisting of 19 Schulich School of Engineering - Electrical & Software students, to attend the CUSEC: Canadian University Software Engineering Conference 2025 in Montreal! 🎉 This trip wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of the Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary (SSAF) which helped subsidize the costs and make this amazing experience accessible for our delegation. 🙌 Over three action-packed days, our students explored cutting-edge topics like responsible AI, emerging technologies, technical interviews, and more through inspiring keynotes, hands-on workshops, and networking events. They connected with industry leaders, gained valuable insights into the world of software engineering, and brought back fresh ideas to share with the UCalgary community. 🧠💻 Beyond the conference, our delegates also had the chance to explore the vibrant city of Montreal, visiting museums, checking out poutine places, and soaking in the city’s rich culture on their final day. It was the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable trip! 🌆🎨 Special thanks to the CUSEC team and Muhammad R., Calgary's Head Delegate for organizing such a phenomenal conference and everyone who contributed to this memorable experience. We’re excited to see how this opportunity will shape the future endeavors of our delegation!

🎉 Cheers to the end of the fall semester! We hope it was a successful one for everyone and that you're taking some well-deserved time to recharge. As we reflect on the past semester, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported our events, including our incredible industry partners. Your enthusiasm and collaboration continue to inspire us! We closed the year with a truly meaningful initiative—a Toy Drive for the Alberta Children’s Hospital (Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation) together with our friends at the Biomedical Engineering Students' Society! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to bring smiles to children and families during the holiday season. This initiative reminded us of the power of coming together to make a difference. With that, we wrap up a memorable fall semester and look forward to creating even more impactful and exciting moments in the new year. Happy holidays and a joyful New Year! 💙

✨ GitHub Workshop Recap with Digital Engineering Students' Society (DESS) ✨ Earlier today, we had the pleasure of hosting a GitHub workshop in collaboration with the Digital Engineering Students' Society (DESS)! 🎓💻 Led by Siem D. and supported by a team of volunteers, attendees explored the fundamentals of version control, learned key Git commands like push, pull, merge, and fork, and gained valuable insights into navigating the world of GitHub. 🚀🔧 A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this event a success! 🙌🎉 Stay tuned for more workshops and opportunities to level up your technical skills. 📚✨

💙 As it's the beginning of the time of giving, what better moment to host a Winter Holiday Toy Drive for the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation! ZOO and Biomedical Engineering Students' Society (BMESS) are teaming up for this donation opportunity to benefit the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation. 💙 ————— • • • —————⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ This Toy Drive is running until the last day of exams (Dec 19), so if you're interested in providing some extra joy this holiday season, there are two ways you can donate: ⛄For physical gifts, the hospital is asking for new, unwrapped toys or books! Any such donations should be brought to either the ZOO homeroom (ENA 106) and left under our Holiday tree or can be brought to the BMESS homeroom (ENG 07). If you cannot access either space, don't hesitate to knock on the door and someone will let you in. ⛄The alternative way to donate is with a direct CASH or GIFT CARDS donation! For this type of donation, please be sure to provide it to an official BMESS or ZOO Society Representative. If you want to reach out to ZOO beforehand to confirm someone is available, simply email execs@zooengg.ca If you are having difficulties deciding, take a peek at the wishlist provided by the hospital: 🎁 2024 Holiday Wishlist: https://tr.ee/iSj-AxLFJ8 🎁 2024 Gift Card Wishlist: https://tr.ee/fUa5K7Nq1J We want to thank everyone in advanced who ends up donating and we're looking forward to spreading some holiday cheer to various children this December 🎄⛄
