Questions and visitors are welcome whenever the office door is open. Members keep the office open most every weekday afternoon and evening and some other times, but with no set hours. You can call ahead to check if you’re heading over.

The office fills with people working together in a hackathon.

For the MIT community we offer walk-in computing help and services:

  • Unofficial help with computing questions
  • Various computer hardware for use in the office (scanners, CD/DVD burners, more)
  • Office tools (stapler, big stapler, hole-punch, scissors, more)

Members are encouraged to hang out in the SIPB office anytime it is open. We strive to make it a fun and comfortable place to work on projects, homework, or anything else by providing an array of amenities:

  • Nice chairs, big monitors, many computers, table space for laptops
  • Music: ours (CDs or LAMP) or yours (via AirTunes or a certain “printer”)
  • Tons of equipment and supplies from video adapters to an oscilloscope to Band-Aids
  • A diverse technical library, including popular textbooks
  • Soda and snacks for late-night sessions, cheaper and closer than Verde’s

Communicate and socialize with other SIPB members through the Mattermost.

SIPB Reading Group

Approximately every week, SIPB holds a discussion of an interesting or notable computer science paper. The reading group meets over dinner after the general SIPB meeting (7:30pm every Monday).
