When
This series is co-hosted by the Department of Computer Science and the College of Information Science.
Code Crunch is a hands-on technical interview practice series designed to help students build confidence and strengthen their whiteboarding skills in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.
Each session is hosted by an industry professional from a different area of the tech industry who will guide students through technical problems, share strategies for approaching coding interviews and provide insight into what employers look for during the technical interview process.
Students will have the opportunity to practice working through problems, communicating their thought process, asking questions and learning alongside their peers.
No need to be perfect—Code Crunch is a safe space to practice, make mistakes, learn, and grow.
