Vanier Tech Club Wins it Big

Bright and early on a cold Saturday in February, over 60 students from four different CEGEPs assembled in the Polytechnique building of Université de Montréal. Coffees in hand, these students would spend close to 16 hours participating in what the tech community calls a hackathon, a fast-paced event where each team works to create (or hack together) a project in a very limited amount of time. This specific hackathon’s challenge was to create an artificial intelligence (AI) for the game TRON (think multiplayer Snake.) The AIs are then pitted against…

Jake’s mall. Universal Break. February 22nd. Black History Month. Vanier College Free Style Rap Battle 2017… like a moment from a movie. It’s not every day that the student mall is jam-packed with college-goers surrounding a mini stage and lightly dancing/moving to reggae and rap beats, full of inhibitions – at first. The ‘show’ began roughly 20 minutes late, but once the volume was turned up, shyness broke down – a little. By the time the student participants rocked the mic, the atmosphere was almost club-like, in a strange, school-kind…

Perhaps, however, you’ll realize over the course of the semester that science, or communications, or social science, or commerce, or nursing, or [insert your program name here] doesn’t quite live up…
