Explaining to the Russell Middle school students about computer science, senior Cecilia Beckerbauer starts her meeting with a quick attention grabber. This is the second meeting of an eight meeting series. At the first meeting Beckerbauer discussed they will be going over the seven principles of computer science each week. “We plan on exposing them to software, hardware, cyber security, IT innovation, engineering, AI and CS design,” Beckerbauer said. “Each meeting consists of a fun beginning activity in which they take a subject of their choosing and use CS to create a game or resources for said topic. Then there is a demonstration put on by our wonderful CS Club members and myself.”
