Are you tired of coding for a grade? Do you want to meet other CS-interested Carls? Do you want a project that could help you land an internship? Join us for the first Carleton GitTogether weekend.
WHAT: The Carleton GitTogether Weekend is a new annual coding event bringing together CS-interested students from all grades and backgrounds for a weekend of collaborative project building, games, and networking. Leading up to the event, we will host workshops to get you ready. Teams will be assigned on Friday when themes are revealed, then spend the weekend creating their dream projects. The event concludes Sunday with project presentations judged by alumni and CS professionals, followed by networking opportunities.
WHERE: Weitz
WHEN: April 10-12, 2026 (2nd weekend of Spring term, confirmed)
