Exciting Start for AGWSR Middle School Computer Science (CS) Students!
This year, our CS students kicked things off by exploring what we need to experience in our surroundings to succeed in various areas of life—at home, in school, in our class, at work, and as individuals. We uncovered key themes like collaboration, networking, teamwork, and building trust—essential ingredients for the problem-solving skills needed in computer science. We then asked ourselves: if these are the attributes we need to succeed, shouldn’t we also strive to embody these qualities for our classmates, friends, teachers, and families? The discussions were incredibly positive, motivating, and filled with amazing ideas! We’re excited for what’s ahead!#CScanbefun #CougBlue
