We have a bunch of channels so feel free to join any of them and look around! Here’s a list of a couple of essential channels for you to know about:
Channel | Description |
|---|---|
#general | Used for big announcements and important conversations - please keep it brief in this channel so it doesnt get cluttered! |
#random | Used for regular discussion about whatever you want. Feel free to say hi! |
#new_members | Introduce yourself here or ask any burning questions that you have about the club |
#s_xxxxx | Each system channel is denoted by a “s_” before its name. We’d advise that you only join system channels that you’re working with - that way you don’t get overwhelmed with notifications! |
#electrical/mechanical | These channels are for discusions related to the electrical or mechanical teams. |
