Coming saturday GEWIS is turning 43 years old! Therefore, the board and the BAC teamed up to organize a fun outside borrel such that we can celebrate the GEWIS dies together!
Celebrating of course means we will have some free drinks for you all, so don't hesitate to take a small break from the stress of exams and get a beer or soda, or otherwise a piece of cake :)
Are you still wondering what the intro kiddos were doing on the laptops whilst meeting GEPWNAGE during the last intro? Or are you still not okay after reading the newest book? Then join us on June 18th for another round of the Minecraft Hunger Games! All necessary equipment (like laptops) will be provided by us. And yes, like the kiddos back then, there is a small prize for the winners (something a little more useful than valuta though). May the odds be ever in your favor!
🎉 ALL FYC's Present: FYC Farewell Foosball! 🌞⚽
A summer send-off like no other — it’s time to play, party, and say farewell (for now)! 💥🎓
Exams are near, stress is real… but so is this break you desperately need. That’s why all the FYC's are teaming up one last time to bring you the ultimate chill-out-before-you-burn-out bash! 🧠❌
📅 Wednesday, June 18
📍 Outside – Summer Vibes Guaranteed
💰 First years: €2 | Everyone else: €4
🔥 The Main Attraction? A lifesize foosball table!
Yes, it’s just as chaotic, hilarious, and fun as it sounds. Even if you've never touched a foosball handle before — you’re gonna love it. 💪⚽
But wait, there’s more:
🌈 Twister in the grass
🏃♀ Flag football to settle old committee rivalries
🥏 Frisbee, because flying discs = good vibes
Whether you're playing hard or chilling harder, this is your chance to enjoy the sun, laugh with friends, and wrap up the year with a bang. 🥂☀
But here’s the deal:
🎟 We need at least 45 people to make this happen. That means YOU (yes, you 👀), your friends, and everyone you know need to subscribe!!
Let’s close the year with the energy it deserves. Come for the games, stay for the memories.
FYC Farewell Foosball — Let’s kick it one last time! 🚀💃
The exams are once again approaching fast! Of course you need a nice place to study. You might think about going to the crowded library, but we have a better idea!
From Monday June 23rd until Friday evening July 4th you will be able to study in MF3.101, MF3.102, MF3.103!
Of course, this is awesome because:
Some of the rooms will be designated silence rooms and some will be for collaboration.
For the weeks before the exams you can use the following rooms:
Hope to see you there!
We know you all feel very close to the DOMMEL. It’s time to get closer! The B.O.O.M. + First years workgroup have arranged a beautiful kayaking activity which you can join. Some of you might remember being promised canoing and barbecue last year, where only barbecue was achieved. Funny enough this time the barbecue got cancelled, but we promise that you will get wet. 🛶
Once you have accepted the inevitable, we will be expecting you to come prepared with closed shoes and unimportant clothes on the 13th of June. We gather by the Werfgebouw, located by the bridge near Luna. There are two timeslots so that you can adjust to your schedule: 14.00-16:00 for the first time-slot and at 16.00-18:00 for the second, where you will kayak through the DOMMEL with your friends and our precious guides from OKAWA for 2 hours. Prepare to be wet and tired!
Subscribe fast, because there are only 40 spots. First come, first serve!
We will see you there!

Are you tired of solving boring Two Sum and FizzBuzz problems? Then we have something refreshing for you!
The Ad HOC Algorithms Engineering Contest is returning for its second edition on the 7th of June, from 10.30 to 19.00!
Get ready to team up with up to 3 friends and solve some computationally complex real-world problems, for which finding a solution is easy. But finding the best, most efficient one? It will take quite some skill, even with the help of ChatGPT.
If you're worried about running out of energy during the 5 hour-long contest, worry no more, as we will be providing FREE lunch and snacks for all participants.
Of course, the best algorithms engineers will be appropriately rewarded (we can't promise a FAANG paycheck but we will do our best).
Now, are you up for a challenge? Sign up at https://forms.gle/2KdnRrMS3sDeGsGV7. More info at https://heurific.win.tue.nl/adhoc/ (accessible only on the TU/e network).
Are you excited to spend your weekend in lovely nature and not afraid to engage in some adventurous activities, or just looking for a place to enjoy a cozy campfire all night long, or are you in for both? Then get ready for the B.O.O.M. Active Weekend of 2025!
This year, we will visit the Belgian ardennes. Here we have arranged some great activities for you, both on the Saturday and Sunday. We won’t spoil them yet, but examples from previous years are climbing, traversing a trail between treetops and canoeing.
Next to this, there is more to enjoy during the weekend, you can “stream” in the river at the campsite (ask B.O.O.M. members for details) and in the evening there will be a campfire to keep you warm. Since we are on a campsite, we will sleep in cozy tents.
You don’t have to bring/buy your own food or drinks as this is all inclusive during the weekend! On Friday you have the opportunity to taste Sako’s famous pasta salad, and on Saturday you can enjoy a nice BBQ. Next to that, we will arrange a sufficient supply of beers and soda (and coffee for the tough mornings, don’t worry).
The weekend will take place from 6th till 8th of June 2025, if you want to join please subscribe below.
As we need enough cars to drive everyone to Belgium, people with a car available will be given priority if necessary. If you have a car available, please indicate this and mention how many places (including yourself) you have in the car. We would also like to know if you have a tent. We will not make tent groups but this might give other people some help in asking around to find a place to sleep :)
We have spots to bring 45 students to our awesome weekend, so subscribe as soon as possible, first come first serve! When there is a lot of interest, we may be able to scale up, but we cannot promise anything yet!
Met takken!
🎲 Enter... If You Dare. ♠️♥️♣️♦️
The underground and highly exclusive casino calls forth the four infamous gangs of the city — The Clubs, Spades, Hearts, and Diamonds. On Wednesday, June 4th at 8PM, you may find yourself set for life... or lose it all in one night at Miller Time.
The Casino leaders have graciously promised:
🍺 A free beer for the punctual gamblers — 100 times!
🎰 Test your fate at the Entrance Shot — will it be liquid courage or a sour disappointment?
🎲 Games, rewards, music, and mayhem! Stay sharp — the casino owners might issue commands at any moment...
🃏 Dress to impress (and intimidate): hardened, shady, well-off criminals with secrets in their past — and aces up their sleeves.
The Casino is calling. Do you have what it takes to play?
The AC is bACk with yet another immACculate and spectACular ACtivity!
It is almost the end of a very intense and difficult ACademic year. To relax and let go of some frustration, we have organized an ACtivity where you can hit balls with a stick!
We are going to go glowgolfing at Hollywood Entertainment Center Eindhoven, where your precision and anger management skills will be put to the test.
For the low low price of €8.00 we will provide you with the unforgettable experience of playing a game of minigolf in a glow in the dark environment. You can pay using a debit/credit card.
At around 19:00, a group will depart from GEWIS towards the location by bike, but of course you can also go there by yourself.
Hugs, the AC
