Impostor Syndrome Panel
 Where: ATL (Advanced Technologies Lab)
When: Tuesday, May 2nd 6pm-8pm

Please join WISH for a panel discussing Impostor Syndrome. For those unfamiliar with this ideology, the Impostor Syndrome is the notion in which people are unable to internalize their accomplishments; they often attribute their successes to luck or a mistake, but their failures to a lack of skill.

This panel will consist of a member from Amazon San Luis Obispo, three professors from the Computer Science Department, one graduating senior of Computer Science, and a masters student of Computer Science. The panel will focus on tackling this issue and what can be proactively done to eliminate this syndrome from our daily lifestyles.

Food will be provided!

2. Projects Meeting Summary
iOS made apps today with one main purpose: to not have a purpose. Experimenting with different controls from our UI toolbox lead to some interesting and funny combinations including ducks that dance and Eric-themed variables. Next week, we’ll make our apps do crazier things by integrating sensors and getting more familiar with iOS. Soon we’ll be starting a capture the flag app, so stay tuned.


Team Android continues their work on the Firebase backend for their ClubHunter mobile app. This previous Saturday we implemented logins and the ability to create new user accounts for use with the app. Next week, we’ll be looking at building out further our backend and integrating it with the app.

3. Project Meeting This Saturday, April 29th
Who: App Dev Club
When: Sat, April 29, 1PM - 4PM
Where: 26-106 (Graphic Arts)
Come join our Android and iOS teams to learn how to build an app! Our Android team is finishing their club app, and our iOS team is adding additional features on their food hunter app. No experience is needed, so come join us at our regular time (1-4 PM) this Saturday in room 26-106 (Graphic Arts). Send us an email at calpolyappdev@gmail.com for more information.

4. Upcoming Data Science Club Activities

Non-technical Tips for Transforming Technical Presentations
CP Data Science Club Meeting
Date: Tuesday(5/2)
Time: 11:10am-12:00pm
Where: 14-246

Non-technical Tips for Transforming Technical Presentations

As researchers and scientists we strive to become experts in our field.  However, when sharing our work with others, a deep technical focus during presentations may not be the ideal way to convey information.  We will discuss strategies and skills that are designed to transform typical technical "information-dump" style slides into meaningful and engaging presentations that inspire and spark innovation.
