استارتاپ ویکند یک رویداد آموزشی-تجربی (Experimental Education) در سراسر دنیاست که در ۳ روز متوالی (در انتهای هفته) برگزار می گردد. در این برنامه شرکت‌کنندگان شامل برنامه‌نویسان، مدیران تجاری، بازاریاب‌ها و طراحان گرافیک گرد هم می‌آیند تا طی ۵۴ ساعت ایده‌های‌شان را مطرح کنند، گروه تشکیل بدهند و هر گروه ایده ای را اجرا کند.
با توجه به افزایش استارتاپ‌ها در دنیا، پیشرفت آن در ایران و هم‌چنین ترند شدن آن، لازمه‌ی شناخت این موضوع برای دانشجویان رشته‌ی مهندسی کامپیوتر، فناوری‌اطلاعات و صنایع حس می‌شود. از همین رو شاخه‌ی دانشجوی ای‌سی‌ام به همراه گروه آموزشی نهال اولین استارتاپ‌ویکند رسمی دانشگاه تهران را تحت نظارت نماینده‌ی استارتاپ‌ویکند جهانی (پشتیبانی‌شده توسط گوگل) در ایران برگزار کرد.

هدف از برگزاری این‌گونه سخنرانی‌ها آشنایی هر چه بیشتر دانشجویان با مباحث روز دنیا در شاخه‌‌های گوناگون علوم کامپیوتر و تکنولوژی است. به این ترتیب دانشجویان برای تصمیم‌گیری در مورد آینده‌ی شغلی و آکادمیک خود آماده‌تر خواهندشد.

The competition was held Friday - Dec. 13, 2013 - from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and lunch was included. In order to save time, students registered for the competition in groups of four before the competition day and we had all 18 teams with their member names and team tags on tables ready before the competition.

At 8 AM the students were gathering in the computer hall of department and after all participants being present, the game of the competition and its rules was introduced to the students. Each team was provided with a detailed document about the game and a sample bot. After that, all groups had 2 hours to think about the strategy to solve the problem.

At 11 AM a coder was given to each team by random so they can help the team coding their strategy.

The deadline was 12:30. After that, team members had to leave the competition site and go to the lunch saloon till 2 PM. Coders  had the option to stay in the competition site -which they mostly did- or go to lunch with others; At 2 PM coders submitted their coded program to the judges and from then the judging process started in ACM Student Chapter room, near competition site.

All participants gathered in the competition site for the second part of competition. The competition got started at 3 PM. In this part AI agent codes competed against each other and the competition was shown on the wall using a projector while the result was projected on to another wall with another projector.

At the end of the competition, the four members of the winning team and team coder were each presented from Student Chapter.

In addition to that all of the participants and staff got a memorial gift. This was given to participants at the end.

On the first day of the fall semester, the Faculty of Engineering at University of Tehran held an opening ceremony for the freshmen engineers. We asked ten senior and junior students (all with the same T-shirts) to introduce different aspects of our chapter activities. They talked about hardware and software opportunities and also  discussed our chapter activities. Moreover, they introduced F1 Journal (our quarterly magazine) and how the freshmen can contribute as its journalists. In the ceremony, our chapter had a booth in which we distributed leaflets for introducing ACM and the chapter, F1 journal, list of our university courses and our ACM chapter pixels. We made this meeting an opportunity for the newcomers by collecting their names and emails and added them to the chapter’s mailing list.
