We’ve completely revisioned the way we’re creating our website. We’ve thrown all of the mechanical terms out the window and gave all our de-signers full control. What does that mean? We’ll get a website to you fast-er. Stay tuned. We’ll be online soon.

We’ve enlisted the help of some of the briliant Computer Scientists on cam-pus and we’ve come to an agreement. Project Eight needs software. Want a peak on the plan? All we can say for now is think big. Think live Channel Eight on your phone big.

Ever wonder exactly what Project Eight is all about? Want to know the secret behind our magic tricks and even try some for yourself? Well, we’re planning to reveal all of our secrets. Come out on Tuesday, September 25th, to the first Project Eight gen-eral meeting and meet the masterminds behind it all. Find out how Project Eight works and maybe learn some magic tricks of your own. Come join the team and help us start the semester off strong.
