Happy autumn! Coding in coffee shops and drawing wireframes in cozy sweaters is back this season, along with Penn Spark’s newsletter.
For our newest subscribers, we are a group of students at the University of Pennsylvania who bridge tech and design to build creative, community, and client projects. When we aren’t busy working on the next greatest startup ideas together, you can usually find our members in every corner of campus working on amazing projects of all kinds. We dream big, play hard, and eat a lot of hotpot together.
🔥 YOU’RE INVITED! Spark x Labs x Hack Halloween Mixer – Friday, November 1st
Get ready for a spooky night out at the Cyberpunk Cemetery with Penn Spark, Penn Labs, and Hack4Impact! Come socialize with developers and designers across Penn’s software community. We may not be able to get you an internship for next summer, but we can throw a Halloween party that is (nearly) as scary as a technical interview.
Tickets can be purchased here: https://partiful.com/e/EnPd65kzgRfwzb1XuhFM.
Price is $15 online and $20 at the door. Sales close at 5pm the day of.
The event will be at 10pm at TLO with a joint pregame starting at 9pm at Evo. Put on your scariest tech recruiter outfits, and bring your most cursed HackerRank questions – we can’t wait to see you there!
