Applied Algorithmic Thinking Club

<p>The Applied Algorithmic Thinking Club is a faculty-led student club whose goal is to have fun with algorithms!</p> <p>The activities are oriented to develop skills on problem solving, algorithmic thinking, modeling, and coding in an informal and inviting setting.</p> <p>We meet weekly in Seidenberg&#8217;s lounge (161 William Street, 2nd Floor) to focus on the following different areas :</p><br /><ul> <li>Problem solving: for skills improvement in Data Structures, Algorithms, and coding.<br /></li><li>Whiteboard-interview coaching: for attempting algorithms exercises from real tech interviews, comparing solutions, analyzing optimizations.<br /></li><li>Leetcode/HackerRank coaching: for coding exercises from automated tools used in real tech interviews.<br /></li><li>Advisement talks: for consulting on job interviews, career development, graduate school, research opportunities, NSF REU programs, etc.<br /></li></ul><br /><p>The club will also host programming hackathons, and identify and coach teams to represent Seidenberg in programming competitions such as ACM and Google Code Jam.</p> <p>Expected Outcomes:</p><br /><ul> <li>PROGRAM FOR FUN ! and also for living<br /></li><li>TARGET THE MOON ! seek provable-efficient high-quality solutions rather than something that simply works<br /></li><li>ALGORITHMS TO LIVE BY! apply algorithmic thinking beyond computers<br /></li><li>Build experience<br /></li><li>Improve academic standing<br /></li><li>Qualify for top jobs and get them!!<br /></li></ul>
