SUMMARY:CODEChella Day 4
DESCRIPTION:Note: This event is for Dalhousie Faculty of Computer Science students only\nCtrl-Alt-Esc the Goldberg\n\nAbout the session: You and your CODEchella teammates have just been “locked” inside the Goldberg Computer Science Building—and the only way out is through the world of Computer Science student societies. Welcome to Ctrl-Alt-Esc\, a building-wide escape room experience where every hallway\, classroom\, and common space hides a new challenge.To escape\, you and your team must navigate through cleverly designed stations hosted by the many CS-related student societies and groups. At each stop\, you’ll solve puzzles\, complete mini-games\, and uncover the inner workings of each society—what they do\, how to get involved\, and why they’re the heart of student life in the Faculty of Computer Science. From cracking codes with the Cybersecurity Society to building your first line of GitHub history with the Developer Student Club\, every challenge brings you one step closer to the final exit. Can you Esc the building before time runs out? Only one way to find out. Let the great Goldberg breakout begin!\nDate & Time: Thursday\, September 4\, 2025 at 6:00PM\nLocation: Meet in the lobby of the Goldberg Computer Science Building\n\n\n\n\nFind out more here
