**Do you have boring or torn clothes? **How lucky that Projekt Groda in collaboration with Tag Monkeys will have its first-ever event, where you can spice up clothes with color and make your own punk badges to sew on!
What kind of event is it? 👕🎨🪡 Don't throw away clothes just because they're boring or torn, come and give them new life instead! Projekt Frog together with Tag Monkeys will have a cozy event where you can bring old or torn clothes to spruce them up! There will be the opportunity to paint and sew clothes 🪡 🎨 but also make your own punk badges to put on. And yes, of course there will be "fika"🍪🍩
But what is Project Frog? 🐸 In swedish it's called "Project Groda". It is a recently started sustainability initiative that aims to make the section greener. Our primary task is to review the section from a climate perspective, but we also want to make it easy for the section and for all of you to think more green.
**And what are Tag Monkeys? **🐒 Tag Monkeys is the Computer Section's craft committee that organizes fun craft events for everyone to attend. Sometimes they also hang out in META on Tuesdays together with QN.

GUDAR first meeting
Hi @ChapterInfo!
Have you ever wondered what stupid things they were up to at the chapter 20 years ago? Or have you always wondered why Konglig Datasektionen is Konglig and not Kunglig? Then maybe you'd be interested in GUDAR (Gamla Uvar på Datasektionen med Anrika Redogörelser). It is the new committee for the Chapter's ancient history!
This Wednesday (17/4) 17.30 we have our first official meeting in E34! So if you have any historical mission you are eager to work with or if you're just interested then join us! The meeting will take somewhere around an hour so that we'll be able to make it for the ticket release for METAspexet 2024. Hope to see you there!
