KNNTPNew Programming Technologies Student Club at WSIiZ

More than a degree. We build projects, train in new technologies and travel to hackathons across Poland. Join us in Rzeszów.

More than a degree

The club is where code goes beyond your classes. You learn on real projects, from people who already work in the industry.

  • Hackathons

    24 hours, a real problem and a working prototype at the end. We travel to Kraków and Bydgoszcz, and HackCarpathia happens right here in Rzeszów.

  • Internships

    We point members to internship programmes. Several club members went through mLab AI in Rzeszów, where students build apps for non-profits.

  • Projects

    Shared projects in React, C++, C# and .NET. You work in a team, in a repository, with code review.

  • Workshops

    Technology workshops led by practitioners, including React and Git.

  • Events

    From our history: IT Academic Day, Co? Gdzie? Kiedy? (a quiz night), Hackathon Rzeszów, Game Jam, IoT Connect and Gaming Rzeszów.
