Hi everyone! We have just started a community for discussion about Advent of Code 2021 problems. What is Advent of Code? tl;dr: 25 days of fun programming problems (starting 1st December) of increasing difficulty, one a day until Christmas. It is a great way for beginners to pick up programming and computational thinking, as well as more experienced people to learn a new programming language or just solve problems for fun!
To encourage everyone to take part in this challenge, we'll be randomly giving out $10 Food Delivery vouchers to 15 lucky individuals (randomly drawn) who have achieved more than 20 stars, and are on our NUS Hackers AoC Private Leaderboard.
Feel free to join us and find more details through our NUS Hackers Discord, where you can get started by looking at our

Hi everyone!
Do you have a project that you have spent many long hours working on, or a technical topic that you are passionate about? If so, we would like to invite you to speak at our Friday Hacks series this coming semester! Friday Hacks is a weekly meetup which includes one or two technical talks and occasionally a hacking session. Here at NUS Hackers, we are committed to spreading the hacker culture, so we welcome speakers to share their hacks, research, or technical knowledge with the NUS community.
This semester, beginning late January, we’ll be hosting talks both physically and virtually via Zoom. If you are interested in speaking, please indicate your interest at https://forms.gle/BH277V49SHpoMvbf7. It doesn't matter whether you're a student, researcher, or someone working in the industry – what matters is that you have a topic to share! 😄
Thank you!
