Where the society specializes

Four domains, one standard. Each workshop, event, and session lives inside one of these disciplines.

01

Tesla Dept of Electronics

Circuits, signals, and silicon that bring ideas to life.

Named for Nikola Tesla, this department drives electronics and IoT — building the embedded systems, wireless links, and automation that make hardware feel alive.

  • Embedded Systems
  • IoT & Wireless
  • Power Electronics
  • Automation

02

Higinbotham Dept of Game Dev

Play, worlds, and the craft behind them.

Honoring William Higinbotham, the father of video games, this department makes games end to end — design, code, art, sound, and story.

  • Game Design
  • Game Programming
  • Game Art & Animation
  • Sound & Storytelling

03

Torvalds Dept of Linux

Open systems, kernels, and the command line.

In the spirit of Linus Torvalds, this department lives in open source — mastering Linux, systems programming, shells, and the craft of the kernel.

  • Linux & the Kernel
  • Shell & Scripting
  • Systems Programming
  • Open Source

04

Sutherland Dept of Immersive Tech

Virtual worlds and the interfaces to enter them.

Following Ivan Sutherland — the father of computer graphics — this department explores VR, AR, and 3D, shaping the next way we interact with machines.

  • Virtual Reality
  • Augmented Reality
  • 3D Graphics
  • Haptics & Interfaces

// Who we are

We are what students build

JARVIS Society is a student-run collective that treats the university as a launchpad. We learn in the open, ship in public, and hold every effort to a single standard: does it work, and can we prove it?

No gatekeeping, no silver bullets. Four domains, one culture, and a shared belief that the best way to learn a system is to break and rebuild it — deliberately, documented, and together.

  • Open source by default
  • Ships every semester
  • Mentored, member-run
  • Documentation-first
