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!
