As a student chapter of the international Association of Computing Machinery, ACM at UCSB is the premier Computer Science student organization on campus. We host events, workshops, and competitions to help students learn more about computer science and technology. Regardless of your major or skill level, we invite you to join our community and share our passion for technology!

ACM has three branches: ICPC, Research, and Web Development. Each branch holds independent events to support its unique mission. General meetings are unattached to any branch and support the mission of the club as a whole.

Check out our Linktree to join our Discord server, or get on our mailing list to stay up-to-date regarding our events.

ICPC, or the International Collegiate Programming Contest, is an algorithmic programming contest for college students. The ICPC branch at ACM aims to create a community of competitive programmers by hosting practice competitions and workshops. Additionally, it hosts tryouts for the ICPC regionals contest in November.

The Research branch of ACM at UCSB provides opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved in cutting-edge research at various UCSB labs. Through the 'Research Connect' program, students can be directly matched with open lab positions. The branch also hosts research panels, offering students a chance to network one-on-one with researchers and gain valuable insights into the world of academic and industry research.

The Web Development branch is a specialized division within our ACM chapter dedicated to web development. Our goal is to share expertise in full-stack development, including frameworks like React and Flask, with undergraduate students pursuing computer science. Watch for our upcoming website portfolio workshop and an exciting update to the former Coders SB project series!

Coders SB, now ACM at UCSB, was disbanded after the 2023-2024 academic year to reorganize as a student chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery.

Not in the slightest! We welcome students from all majors and backgrounds.
