What We Do

A network of gamers, hobbyists, entrepreneurs, modders, makers, people who are just curious, and more!

The PFW ACM is an organization of students who are interested in computers or computing. We welcome any and all levels of computing knowledge, and while we hope that you'll learn more about computing through interactions within the community, it's not required or expected. 

Programming, Computing, and Digital Communications are core parts of our modern world, and ensuring equitable access and understanding of the ways that they function and can be applied is vital to maintaining ethics in computer science and driving the application of the field forwards. 

As a group dedicated to the exploration of these things, we seek to create and maintain expectations for free, equitable, and shared access to computing. This means we're interested in anyone with any interest in computing, its scientific theory, or its application. This includes gamers, hobbyists, entrepreneurs, modders, makers, people who are just curious, and more!
