Do you like going outside? Are you vitamin-D deficient from being in the MC too long? Do you think s'mores and bonfire are a delicious combination? If so, you should join us as the CSC is going outside again! Around 7:30PM, we're going to Laurel Creek Fire Pit for some outdoor fun.

Learn about the real reasons you should be in school from David Wolever, CTO of akindi and a director of PyCon Canada.
Hindsight is 20/20, and since leaving university I’ve had five years and three startups to reflect on the most valuable things I have (and haven’t) taken away from my time in school. David studied computer science for three years at the University of Toronto before leaving to be employee zero at a Waterloo-based startup. Since then he has been a founder of two more startups, started PyCon Canada, and has written hundreds of thousands of lines of code. He is currently CTO of Akindi, a Toronto-based startup trying to make multiple choice testing a bit less terrible. He’s best found on Twitter at http://twitter.com/wolever
