About SS12

Project:Possibility, USC Association for Computing Machinery, and the USC Engineering Graduate Student Association teamed up to bring USC students this highly successful event on November 14th, 17th, and 18th.

SS12 was the first charity event of its kind at the University of Southern California, and possibly the largest event of its kind in history. SS12 was inspired through collaboration between Project:Possibility and Knowbility, and by a previous Code-A-Thon.

The origins and meaning of the name "SS12" remain a highly guarded secret.
