We will host a Christmas buffet at Kröken(Nymble) this Sunday (8/12) for those who have previously served as student representatives on course committees or in other contexts.

Our apologies for the late announcement, but we sincerely hope you will be able to come and let us show our appreciation anyway!

Next Tuesday 2️⃣ and Wednesday 💒 (December 10 & 11), the International Committees 🌍 for the D/Me/E/MiT Chapters will once again be collaborating to bring you Mediator 2024, an incredible Christmas tradition spanning two Chapter Halls. This year, the event will have two parts:

• 👷 Part 1 (Tue 10/Dec 17:17 @ META) — Gingerbread Building Competition: show off your creativity and coordination in a race to build the best gingerbread house with your friends. This will happen during QN, so you can play normal board games after the competition.
• 🍻 Part 2 (Wed 11/Dec 18:12 @ Tolvan) — Gingerbread Smashing Pub: hang out with people from other Chapters (open to all KTH!) and tear down + eat a bunch of awesome gingerbread houses.

This is a great opportunity to meet people from all over KTH and visit a different Chapter Hall than what you're used to. In addition, you'll get a one-of-a-kind super-duper-cool two-part patch for free just for attending and building! 🤑 You'll get one kitten on Tuesday and another kitten on Wednesday - and then they fit together!

🥣 We will be selling rice porridge for dinner during both evenings! 🥣

Sounds cool? Sign up for Part 1 here: https://dsekt.se/mediator 🔗

There are no sign-ups for Part 2 (the pub): just show up! 😎

Hi, chapter!

Thank you once again to everyone who attended the lunch lectures we organized to help prepare for the thesis project!

As promised, the slides from the lectures are now available for review here: https://dsekt.se/thesis-slides.

Happy Advent everyone! 🕯️ The baking committee are hoping you all have a really merry time even though we're still awating the snow ❄️

But for those of you who haven't quite gotten into the Christmas spirit yet or those who can't get enough of Christmas, the baking committee invites you to Christmas crafts and Advent baking on December 18!

So welcome to META to bake saffron cats (no real cats will be harmed in the process), build gingerbread houses, cut garlands and have a really cozy time this Christmas. 🎄

Have a nice time and see you on the 18th!

Do you have complaints, opinions, or thoughts on how the Computer Science program can be improved? Swing by the Complaint Lodge on Thursday (Dec. 5th) during lunch (we we're in META) and leave your thoughts in exchange for fika.

Don't ask what KTH can complain about you, ask what you can complain about KTH.

Everything that does not disappear will be donated to second hand.Welcome!
