What Is Our Goal
We are a community of devoted students who want to gather together, bounded by a common passion: Computer Science. By being a student chapter in the field of Computer Science, we are advocated to the advance of Computing as a science and a profession, following the lemma of the ACM International Society.
The ACM-W International Society is our direct source of inspiration, from which we aim to target the women minority in the field, offering them a unique environment in which to share, grow professionally, find new opportunities, at the same time as providing them with friendship and valuable connections.
