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 April 26th
Candle-lit catacombs, bone-shaking mystics, man-eating lizards, and an insane warmongering royal prince combine to make the search for the first segment of the Key to Time quite the hassle for the 4th Doctor, Romana & K9.

Galactic con men, mad vengeance-seeking royals, an alien world in its medieval period…and the introduction of a new companion for the 4th Doctor. It’s all on-tap with Parts 1 & 2 of THE RIBOS OPERATION. The fun begins this Friday, April 19th after school in room 226,.
DOCTOR WHO CLUB: Coming April 12th
