A Student-Driven Tech Community at BAU
The official student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery at Beirut Arab University. We connect students who love software, security, and AI across all university campuses.
What is BAU ACM?
BAU ACM is an active student society operating under an official charter with ACM International—the world's largest educational and scientific computing society.
We run hands-on activities that university curriculums don't always have time to cover: building real applications, preparing for international coding contests, practicing ethical hacking, and bringing working industry professionals directly to campus.
Whether you're an experienced programmer or writing your very first lines of code, there is a place for you here.

What We Do
From technical deep-dives to fun community outings, here is what chapter members take part in.
Talks by Engineers & Hackers
Guest lectures and Q&As with working software engineers, ethical hackers, and industry developers sharing real-world experience.
Campus Booths & Collaborations
Interactive booths, live coding demos, and cross-faculty projects that bring technology closer to students across all BAU campuses.
Hands-on AI & Tech Workshops
Practical sessions where we experiment with machine learning models, local LLMs, and modern development frameworks.
Trips, Hackathons & Socials
Tech excursions, team hackathons, and informal meetups to collaborate and build lasting friendships outside of classes.
Our 3 Technical Committees
Members can connect directly with three dedicated technical committees based on their interests.
Software Engineering
Full-stack development, open-source tools, Git workflows, and competitive programming (ICPC/LCPC).
AI & Data Science
Machine learning labs, local LLMs, computer vision, and discussions on the latest AI research.
Cybersecurity & CTF
Capture The Flag drills, exploit analysis, web defense, and practical security techniques.
