Hackerspace
👋 Hi everyone! Together with Petr, a masters’ student, we’re looking to experiment with a space for people to come together, get excited about tech, and actually build things (and learn from the inevitable mistakes made along the way).
If you’re interested, feel free to let us know what you’re looking to build by tomorrow 12pm. We’ll be meeting for the first time this wednesday in COM3 😄
As we’re still working out how we can best build this space, we’ll only be inviting NUS students (for now!!!) and we’ll reach out to confirm if you should come down!

Vite, Rust, and the future of JavaScript tooling (Evan You🎙)
Despite being the world's most widely used language, the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem has long been fragmented. Unlike Rust, which has an official tool like Cargo for most workflows, JS devs rely on dozens of 3rd-party dependencies just to start a project. Vite drastically simplified the frontend workflow, and now at Void(0), we're building a Rust-based unified toolchain to do the same for the entire JS ecosystem. In this talk, we’ll discuss JS’s evolution, why we think it's time to challenge the status quo, and our progress so far.
How to move terabytes of data around (Herbert🎙)
In this talk, Herbert will demonstrate how modern big data pipelines are designed to efficiently ingest, process, transform, and distribute massive volumes of data, ranging from terabytes (TBs) to even petabytes (PBs).

Hello everyone 👋 My name is Petr and together with the Coreteam, we've worked to provide a Hackerspace for people once a week.
So far many people have showed up, some working on projects and many excitedly starting new ones 💪
🌟 Thanks to some amazing work from the Coreteam, I'm happy to announce a collaboration with the NUS Makers lab 🌟
Hackerspace 🤝 Makers lab
This means that from the 12th of March our weekly Hackerspace will be held in the Makers lab. This means that if you have passed the safety quiz you can utilise the tools for your projects!
Of course you can still work on your software projects 🧑💻 or even work towards and pass your safety quiz to join the others using the tools in the lab.
⚠️ NEW: SAFETY QUIZ LINK
Note that it and the attached video are out of date. We are working on a new quiz/video, but this is what we have for now.
❗Details❗

Unlocking the Future of Banking with AI: Generating Synthetic Financial Data (Sook-Yee Chong🎙)
How can AI generate realistic financial data while ensuring privacy? In banking, privacy laws limit access to real data, but AI can create safe, shareable synthetic transactions. This talk covers GANs, VAEs, and GDMs, how we assess their effectiveness, and their impact. By the end, you’ll understand how these models help banks enhance applications while protecting real customer data.
Cyber Threat Intelligence Introduction and Deep Dive (Davis Zheng🎙)
CTI is crucial for detecting and mitigating cyber threats, but how do you get started? This session covers how intelligence is gathered, analyzed, and used in defense. We’ll explore key skills, tools, and strategies for navigating CTI, whether you're a beginner or looking to specialize, plus insights on breaking into this field.
