Are you interested in learning how to code? Or do you know how to code and are looking for a challenge? If so, Coding club is for you!
Coding club is a good place to start if you are considering taking the grade 11 programming course, but students of all skills and level of interest are invited to join!
Attention grade 9s and 10s: If you plan on writing the Beaver Computing Contest in November, come in for help preparing!
Students with programming experience will get an opportunity to try past ECOO and UW programming contests to prepare for those contests in February and March, and participate in Project Euler online to test their programming prowess!
When we meet
Come to room 216 any day at lunch!

DOCTOR WHO CLUB: Coming Nov. 28th
On her request, the 9th Doctor takes his friend Rose back in time to 1987 to witness the death of her father in a traffic accident…but he didn’t count on Rose stepping in to change history. And Rose certainly has no idea of the terrible price the universe will make her — and everyone else — pay for her interference with the time line. Join us this week for the 2005 episode FATHER’S DAY. The adventure begins this Friday November 28th after school in room 226.
