Time 18:10 - 20:00

Type Social

Overview

Student lightning talks from those returning from co-op.
Core group of these will be my (@silver) class.

Each talk will be 5 min, followed by pizza and a nice mixer.
Goal is to have a nice relaxing social event and to promote networking.

Class Discord announcement:

Hi @everyone 

I hope ye all had a good co-op and are looking forward to this next semester (feck that Friday timetable)

Compsoc is going to try a new style of Event: Lightning Talks
The rough idea is a 5 min (max) talk about a topic, in this case Co-op 
Then there will be a social, greased by copious amounts of pizza. 

Why Co-op?
Because many of ye have been in interesting places, learned a fuckton and had a good time doing so.
Also should be a good networking/social event to meet folks in other years/courses.
Not to mention, there will be Pizza, lots of it.

Even if you dont want to present you are always welcome to join us.

(You will have to be a member to attend/present but did I mention the pizza? We will be having a few pizza events this semester :smile: )

End result

We had seven people present a summary of their co-ops, the good, the bad and the ugly. Seemed to go well for the viewers. Pre-ordering the pizza worked well, however we needed more than 5 pizzas for ~23 people
