<div class="content">
  <p>
    Zeus WPI is the student association for Computer Science at Ghent University.
    Our goal is to provide a stimulating environment for motivated students looking to expand their skills by engaging in interesting real-world projects.
  </p>

  <p>
     We organize various tech related talks by experts (eg. professors, PhD's, Richard Stallman, Julia Roberts, ...), hands-on coding events and introductory lectures for cool technologies.
     Together we build interesting applications for Ghent University students (<a href='https://hydra.ugent.be/'>Hydra</a>), for <a href='http://www.fkgent.be/'>FaculteitenKonvent</a> and <a href='https://12urenloop.be/'>12Urenloop</a>, and ofcourse for ourselves.
  </p>

  <p>
    Be sure to check out the <a href='../projects'>project-page</a>!
  </p>

  <p>
    Everybody is welcom at Zeus WPI, even if you don't study computer science. The only requirement is a healthy dose of motivation and some (toleration for) geekyness.
