You better not be tired of us yet!

This week is freaking packed. We have tons of events for you to check out, so make sure you keep your eyes out (we even have a three-day long event! 👀) Consider checking out our first Loud and Proud social of the year! Or maybe listen to our first set of Lightning Talks (topics to be announced asap!). Make sure you pass by the Ada Lovelace Day celebration in collaboration with Warwick Maths and Statistics societies (there is free food, come on)! This is just a taste of all the amazing things we have planned this week, so scroll down and look at what you might be interested in :D
