Computer Science Club
The Computer Science Club is the Academy’s primary club for programming-related events and competitions. The club will support the following programs this year:
- Girls Who Code - Girls Who Code is a fun, interactive club for girls to support women in stem and close the gender gap in technology. In the club, we teach various languages—from Java to Python to C++---to girls that don’t know how to code or girls who want to practice coding. With affiliation to the nationwide “Girls Who Code” nonprofit organization, we provide opportunities to attend web seminars with inspirational speakers and various projects where the girls can hone their skills.
- NASA STEM Opportunities-The academy has supported a team since 2020 where each year the teams placed amongst the highest submissions for APP Development Challenge. This Challenge begins this year on October first; the ADC is a coding challenge in which NASA presents technical problems to high school and community college students seeking student contributions to deep space exploration missions. By responding to the ADC, students take a part directly in the Artemis Generation endeavors to land the next American astronauts on the Moon. Utilizing what we learn on and around the Moon to take the giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars. However, we do not want to stop there: Aerospace, human landers, robotics, agriculture, hardware and software challenges are all open to explore.
