Hello everyone! CSC and DSC are teaming up to bring you all a side-project event next term! Our goal with this event is to help you plan and execute an amazing side project over the course of several weeks, and we'll be releasing more details about this soon

Right now, we are **looking for mentors** that are interested in participating! This is an amazing opportunity to gain project management, mentorship and leadership experience, all while giving back to the community of students at UW.

As a mentor, you'll be tasked with helping teams of students create roadmaps of their project, setting milestones, and making sure that everyone stays on task. Additionally, if you'd like to share your technical experience and expertise, we have optional office hours where mentors can help teams debug their code!

If you're interested, please sign up! You won't immediately be committing to the role; and we'll have a secondary check-in to ensure that you're familiar with the responsibilities.

Sign up at [http://bit.ly/uwcsc-uwdsc-mentor-signup!](<http://bit.ly/uwcsc-uwdsc-mentor-signup!>) Alternatively, you can email us at exec@csclub.uwaterloo.ca with a short description about yourself, your experience, as well as what technical fields you're comfortable mentoring.

Deadline to Sign Up: Wednesday, May 7th at 11:59pm EDT
