About Us
SMU .Hack is a special interest group with a deep passion for tech, with a strong focus on software engineering and web development. With many new technologies, the bread and butter for human interaction with the digital world lies in well built, robust and scalable software systems, many of which reside on the web. Exploring the limits of software development can be daunting, therefore at SMU .Hack, we come together as a community of like-minded tech enthusiasts, sharing our experiences and knowledge as a tightly knitted group.
In our club, you can expect many workshops conducted by seniors, juniors, and industry companies too! You will also have the opportunity to be part of giving back to the school community by helping, conducting, or participating in school-wide workshops, not only broadening your tech knowledge, but also honing your presentation and communication skills. Lastly, you will get to be part of a warm community, and have friends to do projects, school modules or just hang out together.
