Free food radar
Every 5C event whose listing says both free and food, pulled nightly from public campus calendars. Send it to the group chat before anyone pays for dinner.
This week
Monday, Oct 26 – Sunday, Nov 1
Only days with confirmed free food show up here. A missing day means nothing was announced — not that we forgot to check.

The AI Skills Lab is an eight-week program open to students at all five Claremont Colleges, meeting Monday evenings from October 5, 2026. Bring a laptop. By the last session, you can work with these models at a high level, and you have built a tool of your own and put it on the internet where other people can use it. The AI Skills Lab will be led by Ludovico Cordara, a CMC sophomore studying government and philosophy. He founded Krypton AI, a micro-cap consulting and investor relations platform, as a freshman. Afore Capital and angel investors from Capital Group, Anthropic, Amazon, and several hedge funds back it. He works as a vice president for five public companies with a combined market capitalization above $1 billion. Ludo has spent the past few months teaching students around campus how to build, one at a time and usually over dinner, and started the Lab to do it at a scale that reaches everyone who wants it. Things he's built this way, most in a single evening, include: Free textbook scraper: because why pay hundreds of dollars for books?5C dining hall scraper: texts you what is for breakfast, lunch, and dinner across all five campuses, because the 5C menu app is often a challenge.Google Apps Script email generator: because nobody wants to send a hundred emails by hand.Token usage tracker: because these companies charge you for absolutely no reason.Alumni scraper: pulls every Claremont alum sitting at a target firm and runs his recruiting outreach for him.The AI Skills Lab is taught with hands-on keyboards. Claude Code and Codex are in everyone's terminal inside the first hourEverything builds from there:which model to reach forpulling data off the webwriting a model to your mail and calendaragents that run without youIt is meant for students who have never written software and assume they never could. That stopped being true about two years ago, and almost nobody has been told. No company, no idea, no computer science background, no barrier to entry. CLICK HERE to register!

Pulled nightly from public 7C calendars and submitted listings; expired events drop off automatically. Not independently verified — we list whatever mentions free and food, and the food is whatever the organizers promised. Listings that say “lunch provided” without “free” live under food events.

The radar changes nightly; these rules do not. Learn them once and eat free more often.
Department colloquia, speaker events, and info sessions budget for catering. Heads up: listings that say "lunch provided" or "reception to follow" without the word "free" skip this radar — skim the food filter on the events page to catch them.
It can mean a full taco bar or a sleeve of store-brand cookies. Check the description before you build your evening around it.
The event may run two hours; the food runs out in the first twenty minutes. Plan your arrival around the boba, not the agenda.
Orientation, club fairs, and the first weeks of the semester are peak free-food season. Bookmark this page now — it fills itself.
