Take a break from cramming for exams and apply for Project Dive! 🤩

Project Dive is a project at Datasektionen, aimed at promoting gender balance in our program by introducing Datasektionen, its members, and opportunities to future university students.

The project will involve visiting various high schools and technical base year classes to showcase the chapter and the program, while also building a public profile for both students and the industry.

But to make this happen, we need some help! That’s why we’re now recruiting a full project group to bring it all to life. Want to contribute to the future of the chapter, learn a lot, and have an amazing time? Then you should apply for Project Dive!

You’ll find more information and the application at https://dsekt.se/dive 📝

The application is open until Friday, January 24, but apply now instead of waiting—interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis!

Eyo!

In accordance with §4.4 Brådskande ärenden, I exercise the powers of the D-rektoratet to issue a D-rektiv in accordance with §4.9 D-rektiv regarding the life and livelihood of the chapter members.

The D-directive is as follows:

“Do not let your old goals limit your future opportunities.”

Over the past year, the chapter has undergone significant organizational changes. Among other things, we have switched banks and laid the groundwork for a new accounting system, introduced a new organizational structure, and moved to a new communications channel for the chapter. Another important step forward is that we have made it possible to save funds for the future members of the chapter, ensuring that coming generations enjoy the best conditions.

I would like to encourage you to make the most of your time at KTH and get involved in the chapter. Dare to explore new paths and fill your “backpack” with fresh experiences and insights that you will carry with you long after your studies.

I would also like to thank everyone who has been involved in the chapter during 2024. Whether you have been functionaries, project leaders, helped out in committees, or simply shown up at events and shared your enthusiasm—your engagement, large or small, is what helps our chapter grow and remain a place for personal development. Thank you for making Datasektionen what it is!

Finally, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and likewise extend those wishes to the chapter for a bright and shining year ahead—I believe this year will be a great one. So make the most of your days, filling them with both necessities and fun, and remember:

The chapter is us, and we are the chapter.

**See you in Storvik – Adam Sjöberg, Chairman 2024 **

Happy New Year, section!

Hey Chapter! KTH is currently reassessing how long the opening hours of KTH's educational facilities should be. Our mission is to drive the student perspective so we want to hear your thoughts

Merry almost-Christmas Chapter! As an early Christmas present, KTH has decided to revoke our direct access to the garbage room. From now on, you’ll need to use one of the special cards we got from THS to get in. These cards will be kept in the storage room, in a cardholder with a cerise strap. The code for all the cards is 8320. These cards MUST be returned to META after use and must not be taken anywhere other than the garbage room, META, and the path between them.

We have also been given the responsibility to keep the garbage room and the place where we dispose of glass extra clean during week 8 (February 17–23) and week 18 (April 28–May 4).

Try to keep things tidy as usual so everyone stays happy, and have a Merry Christmas (or any other holiday you celebrate)!

Hey chapter!

Unfortunately, not enough people have signed up for the machine embroidery workshop, so we're gonna push it to January instead (sometime after dÅre).

Rest well meanwhile, and I wish you all merry a Christmas, and a happy new year!

When: January 12–16 Price: 4300 SEK (up to 1000 SEK reimbursed for computer science students!) Why: Super fun parties and amazing skiing!

If you have any questions or are interested in a ticket, contact dare@datasektionen.se.

See you on the slopes!

Hi chapter! Later in December METAdorerna will have a Tapp event and we need your suggestions for what should do!

It is with a heavy heart that Prylis announces the last sale of the semester, tomorrow at lunch!. It's sad to think that the fun is already over (because it will be my last sale as Prylis).

The title pretty much speaks for itself. The Lost and Found next to the stairs to the catwalk in META will be emptied shortly. Please make sure you have no belongings in there.

Hi chapter!

Another study period is nearing its end, and once again, the computer science students face their eternal nemesis—math exams.

But fear not! The Study Board is here to help you prepare and give you the best possible chance to succeed in your exams!

We will be organizing two exam workshops in E35 from 14:00 to 18:00 on December 16th and December 19th. These workshops will simulate the actual exam environment, and we’ve even created custom exams for Basic Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, and Linear Algebra that you won’t find anywhere else!

More information can be found, and you can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/tentastugap1

Of course, you’re also welcome to join without signing up, but we’ll be basing the refreshments on the number of sign-ups. See you there!

PS: Obviously, we're going to provide free fika!

Hi dear chapter!

Participating in educational quality assurance has long been a thankless job. Therefore, the student chapter has decided to organize a thank-you dinner for all the heroes working to improve our education!

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!

You can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/bevakningsmiddag

Warm regards, The Study Board

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.

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.

Hello chapter! Are you interested in booking META for some event on a friday or saturday in P3? Then write it in this neat form: https://dsekt.se/boka-meta
