Alhambra CS Club
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Matthew, the co-president of Alhambra High School's Computer Science club. Ever since, our small CS club has survived doing local cybersecurity and robotics competitions. However, as time passed on, our school has provided less funding for our programs which in turn led to some programs being cut off and some members pursuing other activities. COVID made those opportunities even more scarce. While the camaraderie of a small group was nice, a lot of students were blocked off from either a lack of resources or training. It broke our hearts that people were turned away simply because they didn't make it in time.
We don't want the imaginations and opportunities of our members to ever be bounded again. Just this year, Alhambra CS has launched 4 sections, some new and some old.
Cybersecurity
- Assemble a team of 6 and learn how to defend yourself against the malicious hackers on the internet.
Robotics
- Build and program a robot to participate in the FIRST Robotics competition.
Women in STEM
- Interested in breaking the gender gap & earning scholarships in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics?
Opportunities
- Break into the professional industry and land internships in the fields of marketing, design, finance, and computer science.
CS Club isn't just about computer science. Our mission is to vastly improve STEM & the transition to professional industry all across our high school. While our amount may seem a lot, it will benefit the Alhambra student community many times forward.
This money will allow us to:
- build a robot and participate in the First Tech Robotics Challenge Competition
- create events & workshops to get more students interested in their future
- fund future iterations of the club as it continues to expand
Thank you for listening to our story and we hope to see you soon!
