WEEK OF AWESOME
September 7th - September 13th

What is Week of Awesome?

It's kinda like a computer science frosh ... but 100% free and organized completely by students!

Established in 2014, Week of Awesome is an annual tradition organized by the Carleton Computer Science Society to welcome incoming and returning Computer science students to the upcoming academic year. Coming to Week of Awesome events is a great way to make new friends, learn something new, or find out how you get involved with Carleton's vibrant computer science community!
