Since some posts do not have as many candidates as our regulatory documents prescribes, an extended election period has been opened for these posts.

The posts in question are: International Student Coordinator, Light and sound responsible, Secretary, Auditor as well as Election Committee Member.

The nomination for these posts closes on the 19th of november, and nominations can be accepted until the 25th of november.

Note that due to a technical error in the election system, it was not possible to open an extended election period for Election Committee Member. Instead, the role has been added under the rubric "Fyllnadval" (by-election) since this gives it the same dates as it would have had otherwise. Take note that this means that Election Committee Member is open as a normal election, even though the section it is open under would indicate otherwise.

Do you want to develop yourself, sharpen your CV and make a difference? Become a mentor in mathematics!

The mentorship for particularly gifted children is aimed at primary school students who do not feel challenged by the existing maths teaching. This can often lead to mathematics not being perceived as rewarding, and can cause dissatisfaction or mental problems for the children. As a mentor, you meet a group of 2-4 elementary school students, one hour a week via Zoom. Time and content for the meetings are decided by you and the children together. Here you can see a short film where former mentors and trainees tell about their experience. It is not a requirement that you as a mentor yourself are particularly talented, the most important thing is that you have a strong commitment and interest in mathematics.

Information meeting (Facebook event) Welcome to a meeting where we tell you more about what it means to be a mentor.

Hello everyone. After a lot of planning and reconsideration, dÅrestaben has unfortunately come to the conclusion that we can not arrange dÅre with a clean conscience, since we feel we can not guarantee a safe event for everyone involved.

There are no other big events that the chapter is arranging right now, and that is for a good reason. It simply doesn't feel right to travel with 96 students up to Åre, where we travel and live together, while FHM is recommending us to not meet anyone outside our home.

We hope that you can understanding where we are coming from, while at the same time we recongnize that this is a dissapointment for many. We apologize to those who had cleared their scheduly for January. If you have any questions whatsoever about our decision, don't hesitate to contact dÅrestaben!

Take care, and stay tuned for dÅre 2022. ❤️

Hello fellow students!

A bit of a last-minute announcement regarding an extra election to the Student Union Council of THS. We currently have 2 substitute member positions that are up for election! The deadline to apply is 23:59 tomorrow, November 11th.

The Student Union Council is the elected body that governs the policies and strategic objectives of THS, so members have a considerable amount of influence over how the whole of THS works. The decisions we make are usually about, but not limited to; the THS budget; how our restaurants and cafés work; how the international receptions is organized; who serves as the President of THS etc.

If you are interested in taking part, you can hand in you application on your personal profile page at ths.kth.se. There is an application form below you personal and membership details.

Feel free to send us an email at d-kf@d.kth.se, in case you have any questions!

Kthxbye!

Ior, the chapter's systems engineering/admin group is recruiting officers to help administer the myriad of systems that we use every day. If you would be interested in that sort of thing, send me an email at d-sys@d.kth.se!

I realize that those of you who would read this post in English are probably all exchange students, and have not gotten a lot of info as to what Ior actually does. It's a committee/club that is dedicated to bulding, maintaining and migrating systems that the chapter relies on for various purposes, such as user login, bookkeeping, publishing news, holding elections etc. almost every day. This, like everything else in the chapter, is done pro bono, and the main goal is to have fun and learn together, because KTH does not really teach us much about how to actually build, deploy and maintain live systems.

The chapter "compensates" members by providing access to systems that cost money otherwise, such as an enterprise Github organization as well as a fully paid for AWS account that we can utilize and play around with.

The Google Form that is attached to this post is in Swedish, so I don't know how well that would work for you, so ignore that and just contact me directly in case you are interested in knowing more or taking part! My email is once again d-sys@d.kth.se.

Due to the new recommendations from FHM, D-Dagen has decided to not host the indoor lounges in Gröten and META. Instead we are going to focus on handing out goodiebags outdoors, outside KTH Entré and META. This way we can avoid gathering students, and students can easily keep a large distance from each other when they collect their goodiebag.

Hi!

On Thursday November 5th META will be closed as it will be used by D-Dagen. If you want to heat food there are microwaves in other buildings such as Nymble, V or U

Hello!

The admission for the Baking Club is open all year round, but I thought I should remind you of that.

We are the sweetest and most chill club of the chapter. If you are a part of the Baking Club there ar eno obligations or responsibilities, you are as big a part as you want to be and come whenever you can and want to.

You also don't need to be a baking expert to join, we'll learn together as we go. Also, anyone who helps out with the baking gets to have a taste when the baked goods are fresh from the oven.

It is not only a bit more than a month left to the next chapter meeting, which means that it is once again time for elections!

The nominations for Mulled Wine Chapter Meeting are open. Visit val.datasektionen.se to nominate or run in the election.

METAspexet 2020 closes its extra recruitment tomorrow at 23.59. If you are interested in joining, please send an email to direqtionen@metaspexet.se, we will be in touch.

The applications for METAspexet 2021 board has opened! It will be open until Nov 1st. Apply if you want to be a part of the planning of METAspexet next year!

This monday the study board participated in several meetings with representatives for the Computer Science program.

During the link meetings for years 1-3, in which those responsible for the period 3 courses also participated, the principal topic of discussion was how the courses had handled the transformation to digital education. If you're interested in the details, please contact the study board representatives for your grade.

Additionally a program counsel was also held where specific prerequisites for courses was the main discussion point:

• The program made it very clear that they now expect students to prioritise their unfinished courses over new courses. An example would be a student postponing their optional courses in year three to re-enroll in unfinished courses or prepare for re-exams.
• More students will have to take individual paths through the program, re-enroll for unfinished courses and postpone new courses
• It will be possible to register for courses with specific prerequisites despite not having the required prerequisites registered in LADOK as long as the re-exam for the missing courses hasn't been registered in LADOK before the start of the course.

We have asked that more information regarding this issue be uploaded on the course web.

Other points of discussion:

• They are aware that several students haven't gotten grades reported yet and hope to fix it soon
• The program might get new optional courses, one example mentioned was machine learning (this might potentially be a newly created course)
• What should be done in the case of a student of a course falling sick in Covid-19 shortly ahead of a physical exam
• Digital education: they have identified several positive aspects regarding online lectures
• The information regarding exams have been communicated late in several courses due to late decisions

Hello everyone, hope your having a great day!

I just got a mail from Viggo Kann. He is getting a group together consisting of teachers, students and other KTH staff to discuss the future redesigning of the computer labs in the E and D buildings (imagine the Avengers, but cooler). They want at least one from the computer science chapter (but up to three people would be awesome).

Therefore, we are looking for some computer science students who want to be involved with planning the redesign of our beloved computer labs. No experience is required, they just want to bounce ideas off of the people who will be using the computer labs on a day to day basis (you guys!).

But is there going to be a lot of work? Nahhh, it's going to be super chill.

• Three one-hour meetings per term.
• The first meeting is now 14/10 15.15 over at Zoom. (You can join the group even though you can't join that date in particular).

If you are interested in helping Viggo and all future computer science students to fix the best computer labs ever, send an email to sso@d.kth.se.
