Hi CSC students!
Google’s coming back to campus; and this time, the Google Games is coming with us! On Monday, Oct. 16th, Google will be hosting the Google Games in a Box; Campus Edition, where teams of up to five students compete against each other in friendly competition through coding, puzzles and word association games. We'd love for you to come out, take a study break, and join in on the Google Games fun!
The top teams will not only get bragging rights but also some preeeeetty cool prizes! This year’s theme is “Top Secret Mission” -- you’ll have to use all of your spy know-how to win. We’ll also go over the cool internships and full-time roles Google’s hiring for!
Here’s what you’ll need to do to participate:
-
Assemble a team of 4-5 students from UWaterloo (a team of four students having a CS or SE background is strongly recommended). -
Pick a team name & team captain - Register here https://goo.gl/1fhsbS: https://goo.gl/1fhsbS
**Each team member must register individually**

FAQ
Q. Can we have fewer than four members on our team?
A. We strongly recommend having the maximum number of members – any less and you'll lose your competitive edge.
Q. Can we replace a member before the start of the event?
A. Sure. Just let us know via uwaterloostudents@google.com. Be sure to include: the full name and email of the new team member, the full name of who is being replaced, your school name and your team name.
Q. Do I need to bring my own laptop?
A. It will give your team a competitive advantage to have all members work from their own laptop in the challenges. If you don’t have your own, see if you can borrow one from a friend. And don’t forget the charger!
Q. Will food be provided?
A. Yes! We’ll have all kinds of fun Bomber pub food to enjoy, including Hashtag Fries! If you have any dietary restrictions, please note this in the form and we will be sure to accommodate you.
Q. When will our team receive a confirmation about the Games?
A. After the registration deadline, we will reach out to provide more details.
