StudCie: Game Design Workshop

Date: Wednesday 19 March
Time: from 15:00 till 17:00
Location: Nijenborgh 5116.0116

Have you ever wanted to know how to design a game? Either a board game or a digital game, the design decisions and problems of both have a lot of similarities. In this workshop the ins and outs of game design will be explained. The practical part will be where you create your own prototype during the workshop using these basic elements. So if you're new to this field and interested to know more about it, or you've been working on games on your own without knowing actual design principles, this workshop might be interesting for you.

If you have any questions and/or remarks, don't hesitate to mail to studcie@svcover.nl.

Actie: Dodgeball against Stuff

Date: Monday 24 March
Time: 20:00
Location: Struikhal (ACLO)

You remember those times when you played dodgeball in secondary school? It was awesome right throwing a ball at your opponents as hard as possible. To make it even more awesome, this time we will not be playing against Cover members, but against the study association Stuff. Stuff is the study association for Philosophy, so proof for once and for all that we are the best! Covers' name is at stake.

Afterwards we will go into the city and have a few drinks with the members of Stuff. More information on the locations will be announced soon!

StudCie: Graduate Lectures

Date: Tuesday 25 March
Time: from 13.30 till 17.30 (this doesn't include the borrel)
Place: Bernoulliborg 5161.0267

Do you find yourself wondering about what you can possibly do when you are done with your education? Then the Graduate Lectures is for you! The StudCie has organized an afternoon full of small lectures given by graduated students from the studies Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. During each lecture, an alumnus will talk about his experience with finding the right job or research area/group, why he or she has made certain career decisions after graduating and what he or she is doing right now.

Afterwards there will be a borrel where you can ask your questions in a more informal setting.

Join us on our visit to CognAC, the AI study association of Nijmegen, and get a tour in the Virtual Reality Lab of the university of Nijmegen. Afterwards there will be a borrel. All the other Dutch study associations are also invited, so this will be a great way to meet other AI students in the Netherlands and discuss the differences of the different studies throughout the Netherlands.

We are looking for a new SympoCie

We are looking for a new SympoCie. The SympoCie is the committee that organizes Cover's very own symposium. You will think of a nice subject in one of our studies and try to get well known people to give a lecture at your symposium! Does this job sound interesting to you? Sign up for the SympoCie by sending an email to intern@svcover.nl before the first of April.
