Mensan seeks work

[Tom Achtenberg]

I got my CIS from ASU in 1991 and had to learn binary base 8 and base 16

Final project was writing a registration system for a college.

Good to know they still have the soda machine project. I got a
internship just from showing that project at a conference. From the
excitment it generated I assumed that most schools don't teach it. And
this was about 9 years ago.
