Hi! Sundays from 14 to 15 we have booked KTH Hallen for the rest of the semester. This week we will play basketball. I will try to vary the sports in the following weeks. And please come with suggestions for what we can do!!!

Everyone is welcome! The primary goal is having fun, not to play super competitively.

All events are published in our sports group on Facebook.

Hope to see you there! Don't forget to bring your good mood and indoor shoes!

Hello Everyone! 🌞🚣‍

Sign up at: https://dsekt.se/kayak 📝

Summer is around the corner, it's warm outside, and the water has almost reached acceptable temperatures. Do you know what that means? Kayak paddling, of course! On the 19th of June, the sports committee will arrange a day of kayak paddling out in Velamsund. All members that sign up are welcome. 🌊🛶

We will meet up at 9:00 at the bus station at Slussen. From there, we will commute together to Kihls gård, walk the rest of the way, and arrive at the kayaking clubhouse around 10:00.

Depending on how many sign up, we will split up into groups of ~20 people and paddle one group at a time. We will have one morning and one afternoon session. There will be activities on land when the others are out paddling, and if you want to go for a run or hike trails out there, you are welcome to do so! 🏃‍♀️🏞️

For lunch, we will offer hotdogs 🌭 and waffles 🧇. There will also be fika ☕ and fruit 🍓 to eat during the day.

Schedule (might be subjected to change or delays):

• 9:00 AM - We meet at Slussen to commute to Velamsund.
• 10:00ish - We arrive at Velamsund. If you need to change, you can do that now. We will serve some bread 🍞 and coffee ☕ now.
• 10:30ish - The first group starts kayaking.
• 10:30-12:30 One group is paddling. The other group will be doing whatever they feel like on land. We will bring frisbees 🥏, spikeball 🏐, brännboll ⚾, etc.
• 12:30 - Lunch. Hotdogs + potato salad, and waffles are served.
• 13:30-15:30 - The second group paddles.
• 15:30-17:30 - Free time. It is possible to paddle more or just do some other activities on land.
• 17:30-18:00 - Time to go home. If the weather is nice and people want to stay, we could probably stay longer. 🌅

Practicalities:

• IMPORTANT! You need to be able to swim to join the paddling. 🏊‍♂️
• Bring proper clothing 👕
  • Something to paddle in. 🚣‍♀️
  • A jacket to protect you from wind and rain could be nice when paddling. 🧥
  • Clothes for being active on land. 👟
  • Change of clothes for after you paddled. 👕
• Towel, if you fall into the water or want to take a shower. 🛀
• The Chapter is not paying for the trip to and from the location of paddling. 🚗💰 Enjoy the event and have a great time! 😊🌊🚣‍♂️ Visa mindre

Join us on Monday with or without a partner!

Hope to see you then.

Hello chapter!

The application for the management team for Studs 2024 is now open!

But what is Studs then you might ask. Studs is a project where 30 master students get the chance to visit interesting companies in the IT industry. It will provide you the opportunity to connect with companies that you are really interested in and give you insight into what working with IT actually looks like. At the end of the project we all go on a study trip together, to a destination chosen by the whole group.

As a member of the management team, you will be in charge of one of the project's areas of responsibility, lead a team working towards that goal, and thus develop your leadership skills. Anyone studying a master's degree and a programme linked to the EECS school is welcome to apply! Just email pl24@studs.se if you have any questions!

Read more and apply in this form, the last day to apply is Sunday, June 4.

Best Regards Erik Hedlund & Erik Nordlöf Project managers Studs 2024

Hello again, Chapter!

And so it is time to once more post election documents, one last time as Bluewhale. They're two days late since apparently there's a festival in town that soaks up a bit of time from some.

Make sure to read them ahead of SM, to think of suitable questions and to keep SM flowing.

Signing off, Bluewhale
