Developers Guild
Developers’ Guild started in 2014 with the goal of facilitating the exploration of computer science through hands-on experience. Developers’ Guild creates a casual environment to practice real-world programming. We foster a community of avid programmers by tackling projects that interest us, participating and competing in events, and gathering skills and experience for the future. Our members are divided into various groups that focus on a different aspect of computer science, such as video game development, machine learning/AI, and web application development. Members in these groups will learn these computer science concepts and apply them in projects, ranging from beginner to advanced difficulties
When you join DG and attend our meetings, you can help contribute code and more to existing and new projects that you can add to your portfolio for future jobs or even transfer. Learn new concepts with a community of people that share a passion for programming!

Game Dev Club
The purpose of the club is to collaborate and learn about video game development. We strive to strengthen people’s knowledge about all aspects of development of video games, including design, programming, art, and sound. Our goal is to create a place where people can learn and practice development with fellow students, as well as create a place for discussion and enthusiasm for the medium.
