Whether you're looking to make friends, build your resume, or find out more about topics in computer science, McGill has the club for you.
McGill Women in Computer Science (McWiCS)
McGill Women in Computer Science (McWiCS) is a student-run community associated with the
Computer Science Undergraduate Society at McGill. We are a group of people cultivating a
community for collaboration, exploration, and expanding opportunities for women within the
field of computer science.
We’re compelled to taking substantial, meaningful action: we organize site tours to companies
such as Google, Morgan Stanley, and other companies in Montreal each semester; we invite
guest speakers to give speeches and hold workshops.
Competitive Programming at McGill
Competitive programming is student group focused on applied Computer Science. We believe that it is important to apply the theory learned at school and we aim to provide a safe and friendly environment for students to do so. Our events vary from programming languages workshops, to algorithms and security contests. We also plan to host fun and social events throughout the term!
McGill Artificial Intelligence Society
The McGill AI Society is all about learning, practicing and sharing knowledge of the increasingly interesting field of AI. The McGill AI Society is a student run organization at McGill University. Situated in the heart of Montreal, a city striving to become a world class leader in artificial intelligence, we aim be a hub that unifies all those involved in this community.
McGill Robotics
McGill Robotics is an engineering design team that builds robots for international competitions as well as organizes RoboHacks annually. The team’s goal is to foster an interest in robotics through competition, cultivate a relationship with the surrounding Montreal community, and much closer to home, to create a core community at McGill via the “Team Before Machine” philosophy.

HackMcGill
HackMcGill is McGill's Official Hacker Collective, a group uniting all the hackers, entrepreneurs and creatives of the McGill community. Basically that means we're a group of people who like to make things. We hold events (like HACK101) to teach people about how to make things, and we hold other events where they can show off the things they make. If you attend McGill University and think technology is cool, consider joining our Facebook group.
McGill Enthusiasts of Neurotechnology et al. (MENTAL)
MENTAL is a group of students passionate about brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). We host workshops, play around with EEG headsets (read: mind-reading devices), and take part in a year-long competition to build a BCI prototype. Last year, we made a touchless spelling interface for individuals with motor impairments and took home first place. We welcome students from all backgrounds and invite you to bring your curiosity and creativity.
Women in Tech (WIT)
Women in Tech is a student-run club at McGill University that aims to encourage women from various backgrounds and interests to reach out for jobs in the tech industry. We provide the opportunity for our members to learn and develop new skills in a comfortable space and a chance to network with successful women in the technology industry. Whether it be through networking events, learning how to code, or company tours, we want women from all different kinds of backgrounds and interests to get involved in the ever-growing tech industry.
GameDev McGill
GameDev McGill is the game development student society of McGill University. We are a group of students that are passionate about creating games and learning new aspects of game development.
We hold events such as tech talks, workshops, and project showcases to fuel the creativity of our members and provide them with the resources to improve their game development skills. We welcome all students regardless of experience level!
McGill Data Network
The McGill Data Network was created to prepare students for the ever-evolving data driven world by providing members with a platform to learn, develop and connect with data-related opportunities.
Every year, we host several workshops, conferences, and case competitions aimed toward helping students gain a deeper understanding of how data analytics is embedded within different fields. We invite industry leaders and professionals to discuss the use of leading analytic tools in their respective fields. Overall, our goal is to build an open, respective community of individuals mutually driven by an interest in data analytics.
Hack4Impact McGill
Hack4Impact McGill supports non-profit organizations by providing them with software solutions built by our club members. As a club we are centered around two key pillars: impacting non-profit organizations and our club members. Many non-profits lack the time and resources to create software-based tools, so by addressing this issue we can help non-profits run more effectively and have greater outreach.
The purpose of the Club is to allow students to make an impact on their local community while also gaining experience working on real-world technical projects. Our goal is to give the McGill student community the opportunity to use their technical skills outside of the classroom. A common complaint that we hear among our peers is that they aren’t sure which technical projects to work on, or have difficulties generating an idea. We work in small teams consisting of a product manager, a UI/UX designer and up to 8 developers to scope and develop the application, taking into account our clients’ requirements and suggestions. Each club member gets to work on a project from start to finish in order to maximize their impact and learning opportunity.
Developer Student Clubs
Developer Student Clubs (DSC) is a program presented by Google Developers. DSC is open to all majors technical/non-technical. By joining a DSC, students grow their knowledge in a peer-to-peer learning environment and build solutions for local businesses.
McGill Science Computer Taskforce
The McGill Science Computer Taskforce (CTF) is a student volunteer-run organization that provides technology services for science students and the McGill community. We offer things like access to computer labs, laptop lending, web hosting and apps for clubs (like our elections system!), free printing, and tech workshops.
CTF members are a community of fun-loving folks dedicated to making those things happen and learning a thing or two in the meantime. If you are looking for an opportunity to work on real-life coding and hardware projects outside of class, the CTF community is the place for you.
