It was not until slightly later that I realized how programming will become an integral part of my life. After taking a class in Introduction to Logic, my desire to redirect the focus of my studies and dedicate my intellectual efforts to a more practical field - one which enables me to observe the products of…
started programming. I started with the hopes of creating a “Triple A” game title or a physics engine for a game. Oh how naïve I was, I thought I would be able to program anything. With the sights of programming in my eyes one night I found myself alone in my room. The room was dark, the screen was bright and filled with white and a blinking cursor. I stared at it as it daunted me until the void in my mind finally expanded with the question “What do I do now?” I thought I could start programming…

cooperation, creativity, and innovation in students, skills that are not easily taught in a classroom setting. Also, members of TNT’s programming team have organized Hour of Code events to inform and instruct junior high and high school students on the educational and employable benefits of coding, giving all students hands on access and assistance to explore simple programming skills in an hour. Outside of the classroom, TNT has accepted the responsibility of mentoring rookie FRC Team 6453…
Computers were once thought of as a passing fad or a niche hobby, but today computers play a very integral part in our lives. By definition a computer is an electronic device used for storing and processing data which is usually in a binary form. This definition may sound very simplistic, but computers are actually extremely powerful tools that drive society as we know it today. Cars, cellular phones, and even certain refrigerators all run on some sort of computer system. Computers can do…
distinctive mediums in today 's general public including print, recording, film, radio and TV.

Unlike most other majors, a Computer Science major writes in a very unique way. We write in a way that is probably much like a foreign language to the untrained eye. Even more complicated, however, there is more than one language. Depending on the language you prefer, the company you are working for, or what suits the program best, is generally going to be the deciding factor as to what language you write in. As a normal student writes an essay, a Computer Science major writes a program. We use…
In the book, Outliers: The Story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell, the author is challenging our views of how people become successful. He is saying that to get to where you want to be you can’t rely solely on hard work or determination. It takes much more than that, something that many of us don’t get; opportunities.
