The Computers Society aims at fostering and encouraging the awareness and use of technology among students. Our principle is inclusiveness and participation: we are a society for everyone – for experts, as well those for whom the seas of the technological world are choppy and unfamiliar.
That is not to say we do not constantly debate our existence, or that we are a set of geeks who would rather email each other than talk. After many debates as to whether or not we should change our name, we decided not to re-christen ourselves. St Stephen’s is all about continuity and tradition, after all! We are not a departmental or subject society we are a society for Stephanians.
One of the recently launched initiatives of the society is a blog and an internet group ‘Cyber-Stephanians’, aimed at fostering exchange and interaction among members of the society without holding those boring meetings in the afternoon. This is a project that should develop and grow in the years to come.
Members of the society have also been working for and liaising with the Web Team to great effect: regularly developing and updating content for the College website. The Notice Board (strategically and fittingly located outside the library!) sees regular updates aimed at making technology more understandable and accessible. Apart from that the computer society plans to conduct workshops & seminars, screen movies, not to mention the first-ever gaming fiesta going to be held this year and much more………………
At the time of writing this, we are preparing for the launch of a new-look society, which will break all barriers to be the best this year and years to come. After all, that’s what technology is all about – breaking barriers.
