WeekComp
Project
After the pandemic, the Computer Engineering community needed more than isolated academic activities. Students needed a shared moment to reconnect, learn practical topics, meet peers, and feel that the course had an active technical culture again.
The challenge was to create an event that could serve beginners, advanced students, and the broader tech community without becoming just another sequence of talks.
WeekComp was organized as a multi-day academic week combining technical talks, hands-on activities, competitions, and community experiences. The program included topics such as game development, cybersecurity, Docker, innovation, AI, cloud, CTF, competitive programming, and a game jam.
Instead of focusing only on content delivery, the event created multiple ways for students to participate: learning, competing, building, networking, and engaging with the course community.
The main challenge was balancing technical depth, accessibility, logistics, and engagement across different student profiles. The event needed to be useful for newcomers, interesting for experienced students, and operationally viable for a student organization.
Coordinating speakers, competitions, hybrid activities, communication, and participant energy required both planning and community management.
WeekComp became a practical example of developer community building: bringing students together around technology, learning, challenges, and shared momentum.
This case represents the community side of my path toward Developer Relations — creating spaces where people can learn, connect, build, and see themselves as part of a stronger technical ecosystem.
