Purpose:

The club is dedicated to serving Arcadia by sharing our love for computer science, as well as unifying students who have a common interest in programming. Officers teach beginner and intermediate students how to code and give advanced students the opportunity to delve deeper into the subject. Coding Club informs members about special coding opportunities, such as competitions and hackathons in the community. The club focuses on developing critical computational thinking skills and integrating them into everyday life.

Meetings will be every Thursday in Ms. Kuso's room (S104)

Lychee Fundraiser and Arduinos

As you may know, we hosted the lychee fundraiser not only to raise funds for the club but also to help people who wanted to buy Arduinos fund their purchase. The little infographic I made above explained how the process worked and how it helped us save money.

Anyway, tax included, the Arduino Uno Rev3 came to about $24. Our awesome treasurer, Stella Saw, collected money for the lychee, but not the Arduino, so if you planned to buy one, you messaged Stella on Facebook to let her know that you were interested in being part of the group order, and she told you how much money to bring to the meeting on Thursday, April 19.

I am passionate and so excited to be a part of Coding Club!

Richard Wei

Secretary

Hello! I am Richard. I am the secretary of Coding Club. I have programming experience in a multitude of language including (but not limited to): C++, Swift, Java, Python, and C. I mainly participate in competitive programming competitions using C++ and make apps like the Arcadia High Mobile app or the Applied Engineering app with Swift. I’ve also had a bit of experience programming micro-controllers like Raspberry Pis, messing around in the Windows Kernel, and some experience with local network communication (specifically with the library ZeroMQ) using protocols like TCP and UDP.

Jeffrey Aaron

Treasurer

Hi, I am Jeffrey. I have started learning programming from a young age, first starting out with HTML/CSS. From there, I have learned JS, Java, and C# Java was the first real language that I learned and it has always been my favorite language with its OOP. From there, I learned C# (as it is quite similar) and was introduced to ASP.NET. ASP.NET made a difference for me because of it rapid development allowing me to make multiple projects with limited time. During this time, I also got interested by Ray Tracing and Neural Networks. I joined the App Development Team where I learned Android programming.
