First of its kind; It was created on March the 3 rd 1985 by students under the supervision of the Sub-Directorate of Scientific, Cultural and Sports Activities. Micro Club brings together students who are passionate about computer science and new technology, whether they are specialized in computer science or other fields. The club affords a space for exchange, innovation and learning. “Micro days” is one of the many events that are organized by the club.. How to get in? Unfortunately the access is limited by the number of places available, so to participate at the event you must be among the first appliers for a ticket, however it’s not that easy to get because once the site is open everyone is trying to get themselves and their friends in. What happens at micro days ? The “When technology meets fun” club did the best they could to make this event a rich experi- ence for the students, collaborating with young professors, researchers, and ambitious developers from all over Algeria who were more than happy to share their passion, experience and gave valu- able tips . 21
