ATAL (Alan Turing & Ada Lovelace) Society

ATAL (Alan Turing & Ada Lovelace) Society is a computing society created to give like-minded students from the UWL School of Computing & Engineering, and anyone else interested in programming, a community to discuss current technology trends, attend hackathons, ask questions about computing courses or get careers advice from a committee with years of working experience both inside and outside of the tech industry.

We work on projects from time to time, and members are always welcome to get involved in them. Projects in the past have included: building dashboards and data pipelines to visually represent data for the society and building websites for other societies upon request. 

Members typically study
Computing/Technology
Maths/Business
The facts
We have members ranging from first year right the way through to phD students, we are also made up of students studying towards various degrees.
ATAL as a society is over 10 years old, but was restarted/rebranded at the end of 2023 by current President Christian Brown and Administrator Nikolay Ninov.
ATAL takes its name from Alan Turing and Ada Lovelace, both renowned as being the respective Father and Mother of modern computing.
ATAL became a BCS Student Chapter in 2025, which is The Chartered Institute for IT.
ATAL is partnered with Encode Club London, a vibrant community of developers, entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts.
