Think your CSS skills are cracked? We’ll throw a mystery UI component on the screen and it’s your job to recreate it as fast and as accurately as possible using only HTML + CSS. ⏱️💻 Clean code. Pixel perfection. Pure chaos. Last dev standing wins. 🏆 Whether you’re a Flexbox veteran or still figuring out margin vs. padding, this is your arena. Come learn, experiment, and challenge yourself — beginners welcome, competitive spirit encouraged. 😤✨

Lights, camera, algorithms 🎬🤖! Take a break from coding and come unwind with ACM AI at our AI Movie Night — a chill evening where fiction meets the future 🍿✨. We’ll be screening a hand-picked AI-themed film that dives into big questions: What does it mean to think like a machine? Can intelligence go too far? Or maybe… too human? 🧠💭 From dystopian drama to mind-bending sci-fi, this is your chance to watch tech in action on the big screen 🎥🌌. Come stop by for some free food and a great time with your friends!

You've probably heard of REST, and how the modern web is built on stateless requests. Ever wondered how that technology works in situations where information has to flow between client and servers constantly? It doesn't -- which is why we need the socket! WebSockets are for handling connections that must stay persistent, such as in a voice call or video game. In this workshop, we'll go over common WebSocket concepts, some example implementations, and walk you through creating your own WebSockets!

Board is recruiting for 2026-2027 school year! Learn more about the different positions we have available at ACM, what the process is like, and ask any questions you have to our current executive team and board members!

Based on the award-winning YouTube series with hot questions and even hotter wings! Watch Professor Joe Politz, who teaches CSE 29/15L and 131, answer deep-cut questions while eating progressively hotter chicken wings.

Explore how modern AI can go beyond the chat! From planning steps, using tools, and completing real tasks with minimal hand-holding, you will learn what makes an AI “agentic,” how agent workflows are structured (goals --> plans --> actions --> feedback), and the practical patterns that turns one-off prompts into reliable automations.

Dive into the full designer tech stack— spanning design systems, no-code platforms, AI tools, and light coding— that bridges creativity and execution. Join us for an interactive workshop where we break down the essential tools and workflows that help designers research, prototype, and ship faster than ever.

Show your bit/byte some appreciation! ✨🌲We'll be scrapbooking, making notes, and doing small crafts!

In this workshop, you’ll learn the history and core ideas behind recommender systems, what they are, how they work, and how to build one yourself from the ground up🛠️. We’ll cover a range of approaches, from collaborative filtering to ranking models and data-mining techniques ⛏️, so you can see how real-world recommenders make decisions. Then we’ll switch from theory to hands-on: you’ll take part in an interactive activity where you’ll build and experiment with your own recommender model 🎯⚙️. Come ready to learn, tinker, and leave with something you can keep improving after the workshop 🚀🎉.

ACM Hack is hosting Foundations of Front-end Engineering: Responsive Web Design. We’ll be covering CSS flexbox, grid, media queries, and other ways to make your websites look good on all devices.
