“What is Redbrick?” - this is the age-old query which has plagued the DCU Networking Society for years. Redbrick is such a diverse society that a million monkeys working on a million typewriters for a million years might reproduce the works of Shakespeare, but they’ll never come up with a concise explanation as to what Redbrick is.

Simply put, Redbrick is a rather big social society with a slant on computers and technology. We host a plethora of techy events designed to entertain and educate everyone, regardless of experience. These include workshops on programming, web development, and graphic design, talks by industry professionals, games nights, and annual events like our CS Ball and Pub Quiz.

Redbrick isn’t just about events though; we are lucky enough to have our own servers on which we host the services used daily by our members. These include webspace (host your own website or projects), your own @redbrick.dcu.ie email address, and our wiki site, where all our members can create/edit/vandalise pages on whatever you feel like. You can access all of these services from anywhere online. Our Discord server is the main place for chatting, sharing memes, procrastinating assignments, and meeting new people.

Networking societies exist all over the country, and Redbrick - as part of the Intersocs network - often mingles with other nerds from TU Dublin, UCD, UCC, and many other universities at our Intersocs events.

So, if you want to make new friends, talk about whatever’s on your mind, or just kill time in good company, Redbrick has something to offer you!
